To set a password on your wireless network, you must first access your router's administration panel.

This can usually be accessed by typing the internal IP address of your router (usually 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1) and entering the default username and password (may vary depending on manufacturer).

Once you've entered the administration panel, you need to find a page where you can edit your wireless network's settings.

Here you should be able to set your password.

Notes:

-It's is highly recommended you change the administration panel's password and not leave it as default.

-WEP encrypted passwords are easily obtained by the amateur hacker (as there are many tutorials around the internet). Therefore, it is recommended that you use WPA encryption.

Just because you have a wireless connection, doesn't mean you won't need a password. If the connection you are seeking is secured, then you will need one. About 80% of the connection points that I have ever seen are secured. To edit your contact youir system administrator to get the password to your internet connection or look up your routers website and find how to set a different wireless password.
