You can unlock your Wi-Fi connection by disabling wireless security in your router settings. This allows you to connect to your Wi-Fi network without a password.
Step 1: Access Administration Interface
Open a Web browser. Enter the IP address of the router into the address bar to access the admin interface. The local IP address for the router is usually 10.0.0.1, 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1. It is the same address as the default gateway.
