Default how to find the code for a wireless router?cant remember it?

my birds had the lnternet wireless for a couple of months and i keep reading about people running their psp's off them . so i tried last nite with my son but i just couldnt do it ?

first problem is i cant find the password for it ? second thing is , is there a way of changing it to being "unlocked" ? its a netgear one that came from sky . a Sky16755 i think .

the psp picks up the unit and then i select it . it then asks what security so i opt for None . but it dont work so i change the option to the same as the router has , Wep i think , and then i need the code . is there a way of generating the code for the unit ????

also the psp picks up some one with WPA security ? whats that . does it mean its locked aswell ?

cheers peeps . ive being trying to do this psp thing for a few days and im just getting pent cos i cant figure it out . but if my bird could remember where she had put the code it would help

If its not been changed, is it on the base of the router?
