I have a BWA611SB wireless router, connected to a mac computer by wire and it is working fine. I recently got an iPad 2 and want to connect to wifi but it says the password is incorrect. I recorded the password years ago and have tried it, but it still says incorrect. Is there a way to reset the password? Thank you

All routers will have a tiny Reset button somewhere on them, you will need a small pin to press the button, hold it in for a few seconds, then restart the router, this will restore the router to factory default settings, there will be a password on it still, but it will be the default user name and password that was there when you first purchased the router, if you do not remember what it was, it will be listed in your routers manual. If you no longer have the manual you can check the manufactures website, most will provide a PDF copy of your manual that you can download.
Be advised, that as well as resetting your routers user name and password, it will also reset all other settings for your internet connection, and you will have to reconfigure your router to restore internet connectivity.
hope this was helpful, get back to me with the model and brand name of your router if you are unable to locate your manual and i can try to find a link to the PDF copy for you.
I found the perfect solution to your problem on this website:

This is what it said:
"I received a comment the other day asking me how to reset a router's username and password back to the default username and password. I thought this was a great question and worthy of a post.
In order to get your router back to the original settings, you must push in the reset button (usually on the back of the router) for somewhere between 10 and 30 seconds depending on the router. You may need a pin or something small to push in the button, because it can be recessed. Once you have reset the router, the username and password will be changed to the defaults, admin and password, respectively.
One thing you must remember is that resetting the router will change all of the router settings back to the factory settings. This means you will lose all of the changes you made since you got the router. Make sure to write down any things you've changed, so you can change them back after the reset. Also, I recommend updating to the latest firmware after the reset."
