Wifi Extender Model #6150 Lost security passphrase

I'm trying to connect my new desktop computer to the wifi extender's network and it is asking me for a security password.  I misplaced it or its one of the numbers on the box the wifi extender was purchased in and I forgot which number it is.  Can anyone help?

    Hello Deftrick

     

    Have you tried to use your main routers password? Do you have another device connected to the extender if so you can log into the extender by going to www.mywifiext.net use admin/password to login and then go to the wireless settings to check the password. And if you can not do any of that you will have to do a factory reset of the extender by holding down the reset button for 10 seconds and then do the extender setup all over.
