I have brought home an iMac and want to set Time Machine to back up to the Airport Base Station in use at my house. My macbook & other machines back up to the base station . I cannot read the password off of my macbook and I thought I had the password recorded correctly. The new machine is rejecting the password. Without it, I cannot set the new iMac to backup. Is there a way around this problem?
Press the reset for 1sec to reset the password.. and change it for everything.. I am not sure you can recover it and I am not even sure what password.. there are three sets of passwords in the TC at least.

Disk Password.
You could even have a pppoe password.
Which have you lost?
Read up how to recover using soft reset.

If you have the computer that was used to setup the airport you might be able to recover the password from the keychain.
