On some routers (connected to your Internet service) the WEP key is printed on the bottom. Not so often, but worth a shot. If not, whomever setup your wireless service would know. If you don't, resetting your wireless router (tiny button on the back) is NOT a good idea if you have any special settings. If you don't, you can press this and it may disable the security. If you have special settings for Internet access (PPPoe), you're Internet may stop working until you call your Internet provider for help. If you do reset and it disables the security (so you don't need that key), then you are left with an unsecure network others can connect to - not good. Sooooo... in the end, it may be best to consult someone who knows good and well about wireless setup and security that could get this for you.
Best wishes.

Did you get locked out of your wireless network? On the back or your router you have a reset button. If you are connected to your network you will have to go to the routers ip. If who ever set it up left the defaults it will say what ip to goto on the router.

usually the wep key is on your router.
see if it's there
it should be in the same place where the serial number is
