What are you struggling with? Logging into the router or accessing the Wireless? | |

Is it not the original key that's written on the side of the router? | |

If you can log in and its not shown, just change it and make sure you write it somewhere safe. Re add any devices that you may have. | |

You can retrieve the hash key from another wireless device that has previously accessed that router (like the old laptop or another wireless system) - under windows you can use WirelessKeyView (google it, first link). | |

If you haven't changed the login password on the router you don't need to reset anything, just login and you'll be able to see what the key is as it's written in plain text in the config settings. | |

the other half has bought a new wireless laptop and forgotten the secure network key (i presume this is the same as the password she placed on the internet) for the router used on the family desktop pc |
