    WPA is type of encryption - recently type of encryption and authentication on Wireless Access Points. WPA is option which you can set-up at you ISR (Integrated Services Router). You need to provide password matching one you have set-up previously at router site... You can change this password and type of authentication/encryption by going to web browser and typing IP address of your router - if you use DHCP in your wireless network this IP address will be your Default Gateway which you can discover using command:

    Code:
    ipconfig /all
    in console window...

    All the above is true, you need to log into your router and manually identify / set / reset a WPA / WEP key. The password which allows you access to the WiFi network. To do this though, you will need a hard connection to the router. Usually USB or Ethernet cable.
