Last night I was downloading something off of Microsoft.com, and all of the sudden my internet stopped working. I was on my laptop at the time. I figured I just lost the signal, so I refreshed the network list, and my netowrk wasn't on there, some Linksys_ses_543254 or something like that was there. I'm the only person in the town that has a wireless network, except for the phone company that's over 1 mile away. I know that the default network names are usually something to that affect with Linksys. I got out my Linksys setup CD, and ran it. Everytime I get to the 'scanning your computer' thing, it asks me for my password. I've tried my admin password, and my router's password. While doing this, I was on my desktop, as it's the only one of my computers that has a wired connection to the router. Anyway, I kept getting that screen, and it kept 'scanning my computer' and asking me for my password. I reset the router, and it still did it. Does anyone know what I use as the password, or can any one help me figure out why the software that has always worked for me, not work now?

The only reason why I use the CD is 'cause I have NO experience with networking, or routers, or DSL/Cable modems.

Well, I tried what was suggested, but no luck. I think I'm going to take back the router tomorrow.
