I had a BIG crash and re installed the system, when i tried to connect to my airport network it asked my for the password, which I dont remember , and havent been able to connect. Is there a way to reset the password? Please Help.

Do you remember the password for your base station? You can simply set the network password to something new (and write it down somewhere safe) and that would solve your problem. You can also do a hard reset on the AirPort Base Station and configure it from scratch if you can't remember its password. More work, but not a big deal.

This, how I do this, but remember its not a base station, is the little one that you plug into the electric outlet.

thanks,

See page 36 of this manual. The one that plugs into the outlet is the "Express" not the "Extreme." You had me a bit confused for a while there.
