Unlocking my Modem

[toni*]

Hi technically whizzed up people
i have brought my daughter a lap top for christmas (she doesnt know)
it is able to connect to the internet through a wireless connection
in the house i have a wireless connection for my own PC
so i was testing her laptop out and clicked on the internet button
it said search for a 'modem' - i clicked yes and
and it found several 'modem's and mine through sky but each one was locked and asked my for a password / code  to unlock it
now how do i find the code / password so that she can type this in and get on to the internet through my modem?

i am at work now so will not be able to do anything until tonight when daughter is at youth club
but would be grateful for any ideas

i must stress i only want to unlock my one or enter the passcode that lets her use my modem and not any of the others in the same vicinty

are you going through a router?

if so..

open internet explorer

type in..

http://192.168.2.1

the default password is "admin" and click on wireless security,  you will find your passphrase in there.

Hi Toni,

I connect to the internet on my laptop through a home wireless network, too. The code I needed is on the back of the router.

Good luck!

Mine is also on the back of the router, Toni.

Good luck

Mine is not on the back of the router, and using the technique suggested nothing happens. I tried this a week or so ago having trawled various help sites on the net.
