The password it is asking is the password you gave when you set up the router. Well. before going further, if I may ask, Have you gone to the web page http://192.168.1.1 and used the username: admin, and password as password or 1234? Have you set up the information in that page? If not you need to do that. At that time it will request you a password. And it will ask you for the type of security you need. WEP is one of the choices you can opt which means wired equivalent privacy. Such connection needs you to provide a password. Every time you try to connect a new device like a laptop or PSP it will ask you for this password. If you have doubts about this procedure easiest way is to call the customer support. They will take you step by step. Please note at times it could involve half an hour to complete the whole process. Having said that it would be a good idea to choose WPA. This Wi-Fi protected access. You can further enhance security by choosing Mac filter. Honestly, it is not an extremely difficult process. You can try on your own. Mac address filtering means every device like computer or PSP has a device address. ONce you use MAC filtering The net work will only allow those devices. Every time you wnat to add a new device you can go online and add that mac address there and then add that device to your network. Good Luck.
The WEP and WPA key is configured in the router's wireless settings.
WPA is a stronger encryption than the older WEP encryption, I suggest you use WPA or better still WPA2.
