You ask whoever set up the router for the key.
if you forgot the password to your router there is a master reset button on the router get a thumb pin or something and hit it (its usually on the bottom they are all different though) also i would recommend using Mozilla Firefox as an internet browser its safer and faster. http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/
yes first answer is right..
You need to find out the SSID and the security key for your router. Go on to a computer that is already connected to the internet on it, and go into its setup page (often by going to http://192.168.0.1 or http://192.168.1.1 for many Linksys, NetGear, D-Link Belkin, and other brands). If its an Apple Airport brand router, you need to open its admin utility. Then, you need to get the SSID and the WEP/WPA/WPA2 security key (depending on what the security is set up for). Also, make sure DHCP and NAT are enabled on it.
Then, when you have the SSID and security key, go onto the computer you are trying to connect to it, and select the SSID in the wireless settings and enter the security key. You should then be connected to the internet on it!
Is this actually a wireless connection setup at your house or is it just a random network that you found when you scanned for networks?
If it is your network at your house then you need to either talk to the person who setup the network or reset the password on the wireless router. This will set the wireless router to the default settings and you will need to setup security on the wireless router again to secure it.
If it is a random network found by scanning for a network then it is illegal for you to access someones elses network connection.
