Finding my network key

Hi - I've been trying to add a new computer to my secure wireless network at
home, but I can't for the life of me remember what the network key is, so
haven't been able to enter it on the new computer. What can I do to find my
network key??

I've tried to get around this by creating a "new network" using my existing
connection, and entering a new network key for this connection, but this
doesn't work. Then, if I follow the Wireless Setup Wizard, it doesn't provide
me with the "add computer to network" option: only the "set-up new network"
option.

Please help! Thanks very much
Liam

You need to log on to your wireless router and then you will be able to see it

If you cant logon to your wireless router, you could reset it by pressing the
button in the back of the router. This will also blank all your settings
including your network key and reset the router to factory settings. Then
you can logon to your router and setup everything from scratch.
