iPhone help

jlmarta

I've got a 3G S iPhone and just lost my wi-fi connection here at home. Tried resetting it but now it's asking for my password which I forgot long ago. Any way to reset my password? I can't seem to find a way. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.....

If that doesn't work call your provider and they will give you your password.

You can do a hard reset. Should be a lil button on your router to press to reset the router to all default settings. then you would have to go in using one of the IP's given and redo your security settings and make a new password

Do you have a laptop or something still connected to your wi-fi? If so, view properties of your wireless connection. It should show you the router name and the password box will show "********". There should be a check-box beneath that that says "show characters" or something like that. Check it and that will change the "******" to the actual password so you can see it.

Also, usually if you go through a quick set up when it was intalled and don't change anything during that set up the password defaults to one of the numbers on the back of the router. I am not sure which one, but I believe it is like 13 digits long and is alpha numeric.

Well, crap. Sorry man, i was hoping that would be the ticket. The only other thing I can think of is that my iphone password is the same as my itunes account by default. If you have itunes maybe you can retrieve your password that way(?) However, I don't have to use my iphone password to log on to wifi (just need the wifi router password/encryption code). And that is the absolute extent of my knowledge! Maybe someone else has some other ideas.
