I installed my Linksys router and wireless adaptor some months ago, set it up for secured access to prevent outside use. My own laptop already is setup to use it. I assume I set up a password but cannot find it or how to find it so I can give someone else access. Any suggestions? Is it stored in some file that, as root, I might have access to? Thanks for any suggestions.

You can see it in the web access to the router, probably at http://192.168.1.1.
Click on "Wireless", then "Wireless Security". There you will see the security mode, passphrase or WEP Key 1.

Thanks for your reply. As usual, I had no idea that existed that way...but it says I need a username and password to access. Bummer.

Linksys routers are pretty dumb. The default is either admin/admin or admin/password, unless you have changed them. Actually, no username is required, just the password. If that fails, push the reset button and hold for 10-15 seconds and it will be set to factory default.
