It'll be in your router configuration. Read your router manual.

if it dosnt work because you changed it. then you can reset it by resetting the router to factory default. refer to the manual that came with the reuter or call there support line

Easiest thing is to reset the router. Unplug it and find the little reset button, hold it for 10 seconds or so, then re-set up the router with new password.

call your internet service provider. They should walk you through the process.

run this utility on the PC and the keys will be displayed

If you are already connected to the WiFi network, you can view the password in Keychain Access.

I'm assuming you are using OSX because you are in the OSX area.
