Q: How do I change my "password" for using an Airport Extreme 802.11n Wi-Fi base station?

My Kindle Fire asked for a password for my Airport Extreme 802.11 Wi-Fi. The password used on other devices using the Airport Extreme does not seem to work and Apple Support is not willing to help unless a service charge is made. How do I change my password or find out what the password is?

    I am assuming that you are referring to the AirPort's wireless security password and not its base station Administrator's password ... correct?

     

    If so, there are number of methods of resetting a password if you don't remember what it is. Please check out the following AirPort User Tip for additional details.
