How to Delete a Wireless Password

You can delete the wireless password from the router administration page.

Wireless connections can be secured using a variety of encryption methods that require users accessing the network to enter a password or wireless key to proceed with their connections. Converting the connection to an open wireless network can be done from the administration panel of your wireless router. The method for accessing and changing your wireless security differs slightly by router manufacturer, but there are only a few steps required to set your network to open.
