IF you connect to the router with a cable, you won't need the wifi password, and should be able to find it on the router's web interface. ipconfig /all at a command prompt will tell you the router's IP, listed as Default Gateway; put that in address bar of your browser

cheers guys, i got it sorted, the default ip for eircom routers is different to the ones used by belkin which was the problem!

its different for each manufacturer and evenn between some models. Having multiple router devices on the network will also change each unit's IP address in some way.
