How can I hack a wireless router? ?

I rent a few rooms in a house, and the owner (my landlord) just left on a three month trip but forgot to give me access to the wi-fi. This was part of our lease agreement. I called my landlord, but he forgot the password and he knows nothing about computers. Also, I cannot access the router directly because the door is locked.

So, I have no access to the Internet in my home, and my laptop mocks me when it says there is a wi-fi signal that I am legally allowed to use per my lease.

Essentially, I need suggestions on how I can obtain the use of my landlord's wi-fi when I cannot access the physical router AND my computer has no access to the internet. (I am typing this out on my dataphone.) In addition, the cable company won't help because I am not listed on the bill. Any help would be appreciated.

    Unless your landlord gives the password, legally you can't do anything. Some torrent sites have downloadable applications for this, but if you get caught you''ll prob get some jail time.

    It's only possible if the router is using WEP security. If it's WPA,WPA2 you're pretty much x'd.
