I'm trying to connect my windows 7 computer to a windows xp computer over a wireless network in my home. When prompted for the computer id and password of the xp computer.I forgot the password which I set up a year ago. How can I retrieve or re-set the pass word on the XP computer.1 person needs an answerI do too

1. You can access the router’s set up details by using a computer connected to the router by Ethernet cable. This is done in a home network by typing 192.168.x.y into a browser address bar window. The values of x and y depend upon the make of router. If you don’t know the values, open a Run window (Windows key+R), type cmd /k ipconfig (note the two spaces) and press Enter. Make a note of the Default Gateway address and enter it into the browser window. When asked for the username and password, type the default values (if they are not known, look in the router’s user manual). 2. Now look for a section named wireless or similar wording and find an SSID (network name) and a Security key. These two pieces of information are needed to connect a wireless device to the router. It's not the XP's password that is needed. 3. Your router may have a section that allows you to backup and restore its configuration details. If so, make a backup to enable you to easily restore the set up in the event of having to reset the router to factory settings. EDITSorry, having reread your post, I don’t think you need the SSID and Key as per my answer. This forum will not supply you with any means of recovering forgotten passwords.

Thank you, I am lost on the computer, my friend set up my computer, so I don't know alot of my stuff like my network password
