Thanks
Thanks to everyone who replied - as stated in my original message there are reasons why just resetting the router isn't always possible and no I don't take offence at the innuendos - I just wanted to know if it was possible.
Unlike businesses, most community organisations don't have a dedicated IT worker and often rely on volunteers to set things up - and documentation is often the first thing to be forgotten.
Only this week we were called out to a local church to sort out a network problem (a cable was damaged by some builders) and as so often happens we were asked could we ALSO set up access for the pastor's new laptop while we were there... Now I'm only a few years away from retirement and have never really got my head around wireless networking so when things get a little unusual I usually need to ask one of our younger circuit riders to have a look instead of me - if I know in advance which again not always happens. If we don't know in advance then that can mean an additional visit and an additional charge to the client which given their often very limited budgets we try to avoid. In this case a volunteer had set up the wireless network but had left about a year ago and yes you guessed it hadn't left any documentation. All the premanent computers in the church are on the wired LAN (which is why I went myself rather than asking someone whose comfortable with wireless networking to go instead) and the wireless network is only used on a couple of laptops that are not stored on the premises but are brought in by their owners.
In this case we had to say we couldn't do it, book a second visit and have had to ask the youth worker to bring his laptop in. We already have software tools available that we can use to read the WEP key from his computer but we are now having to wait until the youth worker or one of the other wireless users remembers to bring their laptops in before we can finish the job... Ce la Guerre!
Anyway it sounds as though there are scanner tools out there that migt do what we need so thanks to everyone who replied.
