How can I connect to my landladies WiFi?
My landlady has forgotten the passkey for her WiFi network! Is there any way I can bypass this and connect without plugging my Laptop into the router? Can I change the security settings of the network whilst plugged in?
HELP! I have to sit on the landing to use the internet, and It’s really cold here!

Nope, to get past the security, you either have to know the password, or connect straight to the Router via cable.

No, go back to your house. Buy your own router.

If you have the password to the router, you will need to physically connect to the router with a cable, go to the router configuration page ( usually something like http://192.168.1.1 ), use the router password to log in, and then re-set the wireless passkey (usually under something like Wireless Security Settings).
Good luck!

You can’t without sniffing the key, (too much work) or just plugging straight in. You can get a list of default admin passwords for router here.

If she changed the admin password a hard reset is about all that is available. Little button you press in with a pencil head or pen head.

1) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legality_of_piggybacking so you might not want to use her wifi, and she may not want you to. Your prison cells might be colder than the landing.
2) Just reset the router and set up a new password.

try ‘password’ as the password or ‘admin’ without the comma things obviously, see if that works.

If your landlady has a wireless connection then you can use this utility on her laptop to recover the password
If you change the wireless settings then you will have to reconfigure all the wireless peripherals
The pass key is sometimes on a sticker under the router

You’d have to reset the router
