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....
"He is the one. Kill him."
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.

My BiL worked for a computer security and networking firm for awhile. He said when he would go to interview with potential clients who had wireless networking, he would bring a tech with him who would sit in the corner of the office with his laptop while my BiL was talking to the client. 9 times out of 10, by the end of the interview the tech would be able to set his laptop on the client's desk and show him just how secure their network wasn't.
