If the wifi network was the one that came with the router it will be on the bottom label of the router along with the password, something like Netgear58 or something like that and a password. If you had changed it by logging into your router then its what you had changed it to. To reset the router to the original wifi and password you'll have to use a paper clip or something pointy to press the reset button for about 30 seconds on the back of the router and it will go back to default settings. Of course then you'll have to run the setup wizard again if you want to change anything from the router. Reboot your modem also so your router can marry (sync) up with your modem. Let us know if you need more help.
