Windows Vista is an operating system released under the Windows operating system series. You will need to provide security codes or passwords for your home and office networks so as to prevent unauthorized access of the network by malicious users. This is very important for saving your bandwidth and data usage. One can easily configure a wireless network in a computer running in Windows Vista operating system. The Windows Vista help forum provides simple instructions to Vista system users for changing or resetting the password of a wireless network connected to your system.

Instructions
  • Go to the left corner of the taskbar and then click on the orb shaped button to open the Start menu.
  • When the Start menu opens, look for the Network option in the right side pane and click on it to view the networks connected to the system.

  • Now a dialog box will appear with the name Wireless Network Connection, look for a tab named Security in the dialog box and then click on it. 
  • A new page will appear asking you whether you would like to change the security credentials of the network, confirm your notion. Now type in the new password for the network in the text box found beside the label Network Security Key.
