   I hope it is not too late to ask this question but it must be asked.   
      
   There are two "password" required for a lan. The first with a password   
   allows you to access the router set up.   This can easily be recreated   
   by resetting the router to factory defaults.   I believe everyone   
   including me thought you were talking about this password.   
      
   The other  "password" is passed from the computer to the router when the   
   computer comes onto the lan.  This is not a password like you use to log   
   into you email, but part of the LAN security.  This is usually more that   
   8 numbers and is a random number.  This should be written down.   
      
   If this is lost it probably will not be found by the programs being   
   discussed.  If lost the best way to go would be to recreate it and then   
   go to each computer and enter the number when asked.   
      
   On my router I log in to the router, and in the set up enter the new   
   random number, the length and method is dependent on the router.
