Forgot my AirPort password!

I'm trying to install a printer into the Time Capsule so that my Windows 2000 PC can print from it as well as my MacBook Pro.
I'm on the Windows now and have loaded a lot of it, but I've forgotten my password for the wireless device.

What do I do??

It's asking me to "Enter the password for the selected Apple wireless device"
With the selected device being the Time Capsule.

There's no option to search for a new password.

HELP!

Mac OS X (10.5)

Hello Mads59. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!

If you don't remember the password, you can retrieve it from your Keychain as follows:
o Run the Keychain Access utility found in \Applications\Utilities
o In the category column (on the left side of the utilities' window), select "All Items."
o In the right column look for your Network Name. It will have a "Kind" of "AirPort network password."
o Double-click on your network name listing.
o Click on "Show password."
o Enter your Mac's administrator's password
o Your wireless network's password should now be displayed.
