     Then how does WinXP get me on if the password isn't on the   
   computer??

   I said no such thing. I may have mentioned that I have an old one and   
   a new one.

    You do manage to create a lot from clear air. I have an old Linksys   
   (at least 5 years old) router which I am currently using.   
   I'm on else I wouldn't be accessing the news groups.   
     I have misplaced the password and need it to use a new Ipad.   
   I also have a new dual channel Cisco Systems router which I   
   was also using occasionaly but an accedental power outage to   
   it has apparently reset it. So I'm inquiring as to how I go about   
   setting a new one.
