Can't connect to the internet...

Hi,

After downloading the newest update from Apple, whenever I try and connect to the internet, it prompts me for my WPA personal password.

Now excuse me for my ignorance, but I haven't a clue what this is. I've tried entering network configurations, and editing the connection so as not to use a WPA password, but every time it just reverts to the password prompt.

I clicked "Show Password" on the configurations screen, and was met with a string of numbers, letters and characters. I tried to copy and paste it over, but to no avail. I manually entered it into the password box, up until it told me that the box was full, and I couldn't enter the last letter/number. I deleted the $, thinking it would be of no use, and tried to connect. Again, it didn't.

Sorry for what might be stupidity, I've only had my Mac for a month or so and I'm still trying to get my head around the network settings, Airport and all that lark.

Many thanks if you can help me.
 
This is the password you have set for your wireless network. If you're using an Airport base station, then it'll be your Airport password. If you can't remember what the password is, the easiest way to fix it is to reset your Airport station, and then re-run the Airport Configuration Wizard (found in /Applications/Utilities).
