Most all the WiFi networks I run into these days are secured. I have mine secured, with encryption and tied to my iBook's MAC address (unique address associated with a WiFi or network card) so no other computer can use it.
Of course, I've lost the router's password, so I can't change the setup to allow other WiFi computers even if I wanted to.
You could just do a hard reset on the router and make a new password during network setup.

Yeah, I've been meaning to do that. Maybe I'll buy a WiFi USB thingie for my TiVo, which will prompt me to reset the router. Then I can give it some clever name, like "frak_off" or "cylons_only" or something, instead of the default name.
I don't think I'd still be able to use an electronic or computer device in my house if it weren't for hard reset buttons. I've hard reset the DSL model and router in this house so many times, it's not even funny.
I need a hard reset button for my brain. Of course, I'd have to be sure to leave myself instructions on what to do after....
Two of the guys in our gaming/paintball/LAN party group back in the States did computer forensics and remote wireless network hacking for a living. They made sure ours was secure. They would, however, occasionally use our neighbor's, even when they could use ours, just because they could.
Of course, I'd have to be sure to leave myself instructions on what to do after....
