Got one of these installed, but it didnt ask me to put a password when installing it. What can i do??? Very not very technichal computer person

More information please. What make and model is it and what computer OS are you using? Windows XP?

In the system tray by the clock you should have a wifi icon - it looks like a tv with ))) to the right. Click on it - now click 'view wireless networks'

You should see your own network - does it say 'security enabled network' or something similar?

Yes.

Go to Start - my network places

View network connections (in left hand panel)

Click on 'wireless network connection'

and 'view wireless networks'

you can probably set a password from the "home" page of the router, this can be accessed via the pc hard-wired to the router. To reach this, you type a number address in the address bar of your browser - it's something like
192.168.2.1
but check with your instruction book, then follow the "security" prompts.
