   Here (UK), routers usually come with a slide-out bit of plastic, with a   
   label on it showing the SSID and its password (and an identical label   
   underneath the slide-out in case you lose it). They also mostly have a   
   button to press that lets anything connect in the next few minutes (I'm   
   not sure how long), provided the devices trying to connect know about   
   the protocol involved (three letters, I forget what they are). [It   
   remembers those devices after the time has expired, and lets them in.]   
      
   I've changed my SSID to something I recognise, but I think I've left the   
   password as it was.
