My hardrive crashed on my computer. Had it replaced and now cannot get the wireless device to work and do not know the security key it is asking for.

Could you help?

Navigate to the Wireless Security\Network Security Settings Tab and open it to locate or change your WEP or WPA Security Passphrase.
Use WPA OR WPA2 because it provides better security.

Write this Security Passphrase down and put it in a safe place.
