I just purchased a new laptop because my old one crashed. I tried connecting my new laptop to my WiFi on my router and it's not letting me connect. I am using my phone to upload this.

The problem I am having is that the problem is saying
"Verify the network security key for "NETGEAR".

I go to where I can do that, but to no avail. I am needing help with this problem so I can access the internet to do my work.

Thanks in advance for any help!

P.S- I changed the security key/passphrase when I first got it so I am unable to look on the router for it.

I have no way of getting to the router main page to do so. It let's me connect to it, but says I need to verify the network security key. I have absolutely NO internet connection or way to get into the router settings.

There should be a little pin hole in your router that you can press with something small and pointy. That should completely reset the router. I suppose next time write your pass key on a piece of paper and keep it somewhere.
