Do a hard reset/power cycle on the wireless router. It will clear out the password (which you should set again for you to forget later).

how? seriously i need to have my hand held through this whole process. right now all there is is a modem, wireless router, and my laptop. the router has never been hooked up to my laptop, so i have no software downloaded. um also, could i somehow just unlock the router?

Easiest solution: call the tech support of the company who produced your router.

If the router doesn't have a reset switch on the back of it, just unplug it from it's power source for awhile.

If it has a reset switch, hold it down for 15 seconds or so.

There is a pin-sized hole in pretty much every router. Get a pen and hold it for 15 seconds and re-program your router from it's home IP site. hint: write down the hex key.
