Did you change the default SSID and password? If not, then the password should be the one on the sticker on top of the unit.
If this doesn't work, you could always do a factory reset using the button on the back. This would put it back to the default SSID and password.

Ive tried factory resetting it and i havent actually been able to connect once to the router to change anything.

Otherwise connect via ethernet, go through the setup wizard and make the changes to the wifi. Once you've finished the setup wizard then connect to the wifi and see if it works.
