Hello michael,

The lock you see indicates that the network you are trying to connect to requires a password for authentication.

You can access your ipod settings and enter the credentials by following the below steps:

1- First connect to your closed Wi-Fi network
2- Choose Wi-Fi, then tap Other and enter the network name.
3- Choose Security, tap the type of security the network uses, and enter the password.

This should be it.

Have a good day.

SOURCE: how to lock wifi?

Hi,
To secure your wireless router you should specify a WPA or WPA2 key (depending what your router supports).
To set it up please follow the steps below:
Make sure that you are connected to the wireless router, either wirelessly or directly with an ethernet cable.
Open internet explorer and type 192.168.0.1 on the address bar above and press enter. This the ip of your router. In some cases it may be 192.168.1.1.

The router will probably ask for a username and password which if you haven't set it will probably be "admin" for the username and "admin" or a blank password.

Then go to wireless settings and choose wireless security. Choose WPA2 if it is available (avoid WEP as it not very secure). Then enter a passphrase that you will remember and save your settings.

When you try to connect from your laptop or other wireless device it will ask for the type (WEP,WPA, WPA2) and the passphrase that you entered.

That's it!

You can setup your router filter by MAC address. That way only device with MAC on the list can access your router.

SOURCE: How do i get into the settings to lock my wifi so

You have to start your favourite browser (Internet Explorer or Mozilla) and go at the router's i.p. adress. For the Linksys this is usually http://192.168.1.1. Use your router's credendials (user - password) and go at the wireless network security and enable WPA or WPA2 security. Take a note from the passphrase that you will be prompted to enter because when you are going to connect at this safe wi-fi you will be asked for this passphrase. A good suggestion is to make all these settings connected with ethernet cable, so in case something does wrong not get youself out of the connection.

In case of a problem or clarification or further details needed, don't hesitate to post me a reply before rejecting my answer.

My Wi-Fi is in the locked mode. How do I unlock it?

If I were to guess what you are trying to say is that when you go to the wifi in you system setting, you see a lock next to the wifi network name ?(SSID) The lock indicate that the wifi network you are tring to join has a password that need to be entered to access the network. Ask the person that did the setup on die wifi router for the password.

Wifi wont work it has a lock code and i dont know the lock code

Go to settings, general, reset all settings. This should reset any codes that might prevent the wifi from logging in. Now of course you would still need the password of the router to login through wifi. Resetting all settings does not delete any programs from your iPod,

Wifi

WiFi is not based on your computer, it is based on what you have connected to your internet modem. If you want WiFi then you will need a router that provides WiFi transmission. These routers also have standard ports to connect your equipment that doesn't support WiFi. Most Laptop computers sold now a days have wireless modems intergrated so if you upgrade your router you dont have to worry about having to buy a bunch of other things.
