I would add to Bogdan's solution that if you already have a device connecting (on your wireless connection) to your router, you can probably get the password from it. Open the settings for the device, and look there for password under security, or manage wireless connections.
Also most routers have a default password, and many people don't change them from that setting.
Also, You need to be on a wired connection to access your router, but if you don't know the default user name and password there are many sites that have it. You just need to do an online search by the router brand and model number.
The security key is on any computer connected to that router. To see the key on a Windows computer:
1) Make sure the computer is wirelessly connected to the router.
2) In the lower right-hand corner, find the wireless network icon (varies by operating system, but something likehttp://iihelp.iinet.net.au/sites/iihelp....
3) Right-click the icon.
4) On the menu that pops up, choose "Open Network and Sharing Center."
5) In the main pane of the window that opens, find the link that says "Wi-Fi ([your network name here])"
6) Click that link. A "Wi-Fi Status" window should pop up.
7) Click the "Wireless Properties" button. (I think on earlier versions of Windows, it may just be a "Properties button.)
8) In the window that pops up, click on the "Security" tab.
9) Click in the "Show characters" check box.
10) Your network security key is displayed. Copy it carefully, making sure to note whether letters are capital or lower case.

Hi!
If you don't remeber the wireless security code, maybe you still remeber the user and password to access the web management interface of the router.
Then you have to connect the laptop to the router by using a network cable. Open a browser window, type in the IP adress of your router and check the wireless setup section. There you can find / modify the wifi security code.
If you don't know the router's IP adress, then open on your computer a ms-dos prompt and type the command
ipconfig /all
it will display your current IP adress, subnet mask and GATEWAY. The gateway adress is the router's IP adress that must be typed into the browser.
If you don't remember the user and password for accessing the router's web interface, please refer to the router's user manual in order to reset it to factory default configuration, and then proceed as for the first installation of the router.
Hope it helped,
Bogdan

On the back of your router there is a reset button, hold it down for 3o seconds or so, this will reset the router back to factory settings, the default user name and password would be admin, note that sometimes with the belkin you only need the user name and not the password. Usually you need admin/admin though.
The default IP address to access the router when its reset is 192.168.2.1
Hope that helps
