Does anyone know how to change the network key to a wireless router?

I've just got an xbox 360 and i need the network key for my router to enable me to play online.. but ive forgotten the password for the router. Could anyone tell me how i could reset the password?

Btw, i dont have the installation disk.Does anyone know how to change the network key to a wireless router?
Reset the router to factory configuration. Normally there's a small button on the back, sometimes recessed in a hole, that you press while it's powered off and hold down for 30 seconds while powering it back on. Then connect a PC to one of the Ethernet ports to reconfigure the router.



You don't need the installation disk. Most of them only have the docs printed on them, no drivers are needed. You can get copies of the docs from the manufacturer's website. A few install disks have a wizard that attempts to automate the configuration process however it is NOT necessary. Just follow the manual configuration instructions in the router's docs and you'll be good to go.Does anyone know how to change the network key to a wireless router?
Depending on the model of your router, there should be a reset button somewhere on it. Look carefully, as it will probably be one so small that you have to push it using a pencil! When you find it, press and hold it for a good 30 seconds or so to be sure.

Be aware that your network will be completely unsecured until you log in again and apply security settings.
In your URL bar, type '192.168.1.1'. Then in the password box type 'admin' and then click ok and there's your wireless settings.
