I got a new computer and use the right wifi-password to get online but it said "incorrect password". The other computers works with internet service. However, when I forget the internet on my old computer and re-enter the password again, it said incorrect password and cannot get the wifi any more. I am sure the password is correct.
Confirm you do not have caps lock on, or are on a laptop with numlock on first. Assuming those basic settings are off, next you want to try and add the password in cleartext. In the wireless list, right click on your wifi network and select properties. Underneath the network security key should be a check box that says show characters. Click that and your password should be readable. Confirm it's correct or retype if not and try again.
If that does not work you may need to log into the router itself and reset the wifi password.

Most Wifi routers have a default password when new or reset. You will need to find the info in a Google search or post your make/model and maybe we can help. If you can get into the setup of the router, you can specify a SSID name and password. If you can remember the old ones, just re-enter them. If not, make new ones up and go to ever wifi device and add the new SSID and password in. If your device supports it, you can try the wps button which allows, for a short time, a auto setup.
A wireless printer needs the WiFi password just like any other WiFi device such as Laptop or iPhone. The WiFi password or key is usually written on the underside of the router. If the printer as a little screen then you can take it to setup mode and select the WiFi signal and enter the WiFi key. After that your computer can seek the printer. You may want to run the install software again.
A different way to do it is run the install software on the PC with the USB connected between the printer and the PC. Follow the on screen instructions, similar to above and once done you can run the printer wirelessly.
For the connection, you need the password that is on the router you want to connect to. If it is your router, you did setup the mane of the router and the password. If it is not your router, you won't know the password and everything you type will be wrong, giving you the message incorrect password.
What router are you using? From another device try logging onto your routers setup page by using default user name and password. username:admin password:password from there you can change the wifi password.
