    Access Settings

    Open a web browser, and type your router's IP address (most router IPs are 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1). Enter your router username and password to access the router configuration settings. Navigate to the "Wireless" section in the settings. Select "Wireless Security." Locate the button to reset your WEP password. Enter your old password and the new one when prompted. Save your settings. Reboot the router.

    Reset Button

    Press the small "Reset" button, if available, to reset your router configuration settings, including your WEP password. Be aware that the reset function will entirely reset all of your configuration settings.

    Reset Manually

    Open a web browser, and type in your router's IP address. Enter your router username and password to access the router configuration settings. Locate the button or link for "Reset" or "Factory Default Settings." These options are usually in the "Backup" settings.
