Help me understand, do you want to change the access password on the wifi router? If so, consult the documentation for your make/model of router

If you can't remember it, look at Wireless Key View

If you changed the password and need to change it in windows, click start, type 'Manage Wireless Networks', and change the settings there. If you just want to see what's currently saved, you also do that.

Another, quicker way to do this (assuming you've already changed the password on your router):

Click the tiny WiFi icon in the notification area (the lower-right corner of your screen), right-click your network, and select Properties. Enter the new password in the Security tab's 'Network security key' field.

I would like to thank each and every one of you in helping me with this issue. Thanks to the guidance you all provided I was able to find the "Password for the homegroup on my network". I believe this is the password I needed. Please confirm if I am correct.

Thanks for having patience with a senior trying to go high tech.

The wifi password is NOT the same thing as the homegroup password - see this: http://windows.micro...egroup-password
