How do I find the password to my wireless router?

My dad changed the password to the wireless router, and lost the paper where he wrote down the password. So the password isn't the default one that comes with the router, and we can't connect to the internet now without plugging our computers directly into the router. Basically all I want to know is if there is any way to find the password (such as software, a hack, or anything of that sort). I'll basically do anything to get the password. :) Help?How do I find the password to my wireless router?
Is there a computer that is connected to the wireless network? Your dad's maybe?



If so, on that computer download and install a program called ';WirelessKeyView';. It will list all of the networks that computer has connected to and their respective passwords. I've used it myself, and it works like a charm.



Simply download it, and run the file. Your antivirus may give you a warning and you might have to disable it, but it's a false alert.



If you're running windows 7, you have to hit file, advanced options, and use code injection method.How do I find the password to my wireless router?
You'll need to reset the router to factory defaults and then reconfigure it. Hold the reset button for about 5 seconds and it will go back to default.



But - if you can't connect over WiFi but you can connect over Ethernet, it sounds like you're saying you lost your encryption key, which is different than your router password, and can be altered by logging into the router (from the wired connection). If that's the case, be sure which password you're looking for.



While plugged into the router, open a command prompt and type IPCONFIG and press Enter. Now open a browswer and go to ';http://'; followed by the address labeled as Default Gateway. Try to log in their using the default id and password (check manufacturer's site). If you get logged in, you can click on Wireless and view or change your WiFi passphrase/key.
