generate wifi password 13 ascii or 26 hex

Is there an easy way to generate 13 ASCII character or 26 hex digits for the 128-bit WEP password for the wifi in the MacBook Pro? Is there an online tool for doing that? Or is there some freeware software I can download to generate this?


Thanks

It's really determined by the setting in your wireles router or wireless access point. Setup WPA or WPA2 in there first. You will need to wire a computer to the router/wap to do this. Then you can go to the wireless setting in the computer.


I personally do all this manually but most new router have what is called WPS, WiFi Protected Setup. I don't care for that so I do it manually. Call me an old fart.
