Hello Ryanwilson
You would need to log into the extender while connected to it at www.mywifiext.net then login withe admin/password if that was not changed. There you should see wireless settings and be able to change the wireless password.

Hello catwoo
You will have to factory reset the extender by holding the reset button for 10 seconds then set up the extender again with the default login of admin/passwordDarrenM
