Default Netbook, back again

I think the funniest one I saw was when somebody was scratching their head
over something like this, I just entered space and enter and it went ahead
and asked for the normal password. I do not know much about netbooks, but
surely somewhere this behaviour is explained.
Could be it thinks a completely different form of network.

Having another attempt to get this netbook working on wi-fi.

It connects to the web if connected to the ethernet cable.
I have been putting in the various codes / passwords for the router but
then get this message.....

"It is asking for a network password needs to be 40bits or 104bits
depending on your network configuration. This can be entered as a 5 or 13
ascii characters or 10 or 26 hexadecimal characters".

The above does not relate to anything on the router label, I have tried
all the numbers/passwords to no avail.

Anyone know what or where I get this?


Do you even understand how to log in to your router and check what the
wifi password is set to? Or set a new one?
