AC1200 Dual Band Range extender

The extender is clearly linked to my computer and its address shows up in the list of networks on my iPad. But when I click on the address on my iPad, it asks for a password. I have no idea what the password is.

    Did you setup the extender using wps? if so, use the password for your routers wifi

    If you set it up using the installation assistant, you'd have either setup your own or used the routers password.

        Yes, but what is the router's password.

        That'd be something you know, not us. 

        If it was that easy to guess someones passwords, hackers would have it easy. 

        If you changed your routers password, thats what it'd be. 

        If you left it default, look on your router to see if its on a label anywhere.
