WEP Code (Networking)?

Hello


I am trying to find the WEP code of the network so that I can connect a laptop to it wirelessly.


I am currently on a desktop with a wired connection.


PLEASE NOTE : I do not have admin for the networking cp (long story).





I heard about a program called "aircrack" but I am not sure if it is of use in my situation.





THANKS DUDESSS

WEP Code (Networking)?
to extend on what georgiaboy17 says, without resetting it you could instead plug the laptop directly into the back of the router using the ethernet cable that came with the router. this bypasses the wep security because you're now using a wired connection not a wireless one - you can then access the admin page of the router, and in some makes/models the wep key is visible and unencrypted within this page.





if you're unable to do either the above or what georgiaboy17 suggests, it's doubtful you are the owner of the router - unless your friend has suspiciously died taking the password to his grave, or one of the other stories we hear frequently in questions of a similar nature here at yahoo! answers.





resetting a router and re-configuring port forwarding is a synch, this website guides you through the exact steps for hundreds of models of router and hundreds of pieces of software so that's actually a viable option:

what i will tell you is that wireless network cards that come installed in laptops are rarely impressive and to monitor network traffic in windows you need to own a card that can be placed into promiscuous mode, which very few do - this means in short you'd be wasting your time trying to get any wep cracking software to actually capture packets unless you're 100% sure your card supports promiscuous mode:

if you own the router, attempting to crack the wep code is a bizarre way of gaining legitimate access to it but google will return plenty of tutorials for using aircrack - you just have to look.
Reply:If it is your Access Point, just reset it, and set it up again. If it is not yours, cracking the WEP code is illegal.
Reply:Well it is very hard to crack a wep although not impossible.


You'll need two laptops with the same wireless card and a lot of hard work





Can't you start in safe mode (F8 during boot) log on as administrator and change your user name to an administrator and then reset the WEP?
