Answer 1

If it's hardwired, disabling the security won't change anything.  It shouldn't matter, if it's wired, everything should be fine.

You can reset the router, but it will mess up anything that uses the wireless connection AND it would allow anyone within range to use the service.

If you're serious about resetting, contact me, I'll tell you how.

Answer 2

Let me rephrase your question and information:

1.  You have found a router with a wireless access point to which you wish to connect.

2.  The wireless access point has been configured with security to keep unauthorized people from accessing the LAN.

3.  You wish to know how you can hack through the encryption and other security precautions to break into the LAN.

4.  You assume the wireless signal is from a wireless access point your friend's parents installed - but it could be elsewhere and you probably never even thought of that.

What you wish to do is illegal, unethical, and unjustifiable.  

It amazes me that Yahoo Groups does not have a standard or policy to prohibit such questions.  It does have a policy against question answerers being critical of the askers - even when the question is illegal and unethical.

Clearly I am not going to advise you how to engage in such activity.

Answer 3

Whoever's router it is just needs to give you the password. If you reset it just make a new password to reprotect it. You don't want it unsecure because anyone can use your connection. If they don't remember the password i'm not really sure how to reset it from there, but someone should know if it belongs to the people in the house...
