Hi
Then you have no other choice but to configure the Router with a new
Wireless Password, and do the same on all other computers that uses this
Wireless connection.
This time write the password on a little sticker and stick it at the bottom
of the Wireless Router.

To add to other replies, when you reconfigure the router, you should
use WPA2 or at least WPA. Do NOT use WEP, it is not safe.

Barb,

Unfortunately the Nintendo DS does not support WPA2/WPA. I went through the
same exercise when one of my grandsons got one last year.

that is bad news indeed. but it doesn't change the risks of using
WEP. I know Sony added WPA support with a firmware upgrade to their
PSP. Too bad Nintendo didn't.
