My g/f just purchased a mac and I'm trying to use our wireless connection at the house, however, when I try to connect the mac it asks for a password and I don't remember setting up a password when I installed the router, and I can't find how to change or retrieve a password to allow her computer on. Any ideas?

linksys router
EDIT:
Tried the password combo's - no go. Still says it's the wrong password. I set this thing up and I don't recall ever putting a password on it. If I did there are only 2 possible choices, but I've exhausted both of those.Last edited by JDMcb7; 03-25-2006, 01:15 AM.Honda-Tech Username: Lostcb7

I'm assuming you have the wrt54g, most common. From the linksys web site, user manual for wrt54g...
Btw, if its default admin, you leave the username blank.9. I forgot my password, or the password prompt always appears when I am saving settings to the
Router.
Reset the Router to factory default by pressing the Reset button for 10 seconds and then releasing it. If you
are still getting prompted for a password when saving settings, then perform the following steps:
1. Access the Router’s web-based utility by going to http://192.168.1.1 or the IP address of the Router.
Enter the default password admin, and click the Administration => Management tab.
2. Enter a different password in the Router Password field, and enter the same password in the second
field to confirm the password.
3. Click the Save Settings button.
Also,
I don't know how accurate that is, but I know they won't provide tech support to mac users.Will the Router function in a Macintosh environment?
Yes, but the Router’s setup pages are accessible only through Internet Explorer 4.0 or Netscape Navigator 4.0 or
higher for Macintosh.Last edited by accordaffair; 03-25-2006, 01:15 AM.

Finally got it working. I re-installed the linksys software and it gave me some whack ass password that I opted to save. I used that on the Mac and it works perfectly. Thanks for the help guys
