new to wireless... PLEASE HELP

[kudokrazy]

I dont know what to do, my laptop tries to connect to my new wireless connection and when I get to the password window, it doesn't let me write the friggin' password. I keep getting the "error" beep, what's the problem? I know its gotta be some stupid thing

It might be looking for a "hex" versus "alpha" entry. Some wireless managers/access points/routers may have a radio button to select between the two types of numbering/display.
