You will probably see a list of WiFi access points (routers), most of which will be displayed with a padlock icon. These are *secured* routers to which you must log on with the correct password. Getting the password would mean contacting the owner or administrator of the router and asking them what it is.

This might be possible for the more public of the WiFi routers such as hotels, restaurants, coffee shops, etc. but most of what you'll likely see on the Kindle are privately owned routers so you'll have no idea who to ask and it's unlikely they'd share anyway.

I have no idea what my Wi-Fi password is, so can't activate the Kindle. This is my 4th Kindle; I bought the others with no help, but have no record of Wi-fi password.

The wifi password is the password installed in the router that allows any and all wireless devices to connect to your wireless network. Unless this Kindle is the only wireless device you have, then you probably know the password, since it was used on all the other devices as well. Even if you don't know it, you may have it. If the router was from the ISP, and you didn't change anything, the wifi password may be written on the base of the router. If you DID change the password and forgot it, as long as you can access the router setup,. you can go in and create a new wifi password.

My kindle touch wont connect to my wi fi keeps saying incorrect password when i have not changed anything

Can you connect other devices to your wifi using the same password?
If so, it is the Kindle at fault.
Go to your wifi connections in Settings and remove your connection (I think it may say "forget").
Turn off your Kindle by holding down the power button for a full 30 seconds.
Restart your Kindle and connect to wifi, re-entering the password on the back of your router.

I can't get my new Kindle to accept any of the numbers I can find on my Livebox. Which string of numbers does it want, please?!

So livebox is some sort of internet provider? Is it WiFi? If so then the kindle would connect just like any other wifi device like a laptop or smartphone. You need the SSID of the wifi device and the password.
