I have a LINKSYS wireless 2.4 Broadband Router. Installed over 5 yrs ago I think. It has worked great! I just bought a new TV etc and want to be able to download netflix movies. However, as i try to use the wireless I find that when it was installed someone in my family must have used a password. I have no clue what the password XXXXX and there fore cannot use it. What can i do? I have no way of using the wireless system now without the password. Is there some way to disable or reset the password??
Optional Information: Computer OS: Windows XP Browser: AOL Already Tried: nothing----I have no idea what to try

The WPA Shared Key is your current password, you can leave it as is, or change it and then click save settings and close it out.

ONLY TO BE DONE AT LAST RESORT!
NOTE: You will need an ink pen to do this.
1) Press and Hold the RESET Button on the back of the router for 1 minute
2) UNplug the Power Cable from the back of the router for 1 minute
3) Plug the Router back up and let it power on
4) Test It
Let me know what happens, if any lights change, and if you can get the 192.168.1.1 to work for you.
