Does anyone know if there is someplace on the computer where my networking
password would be stored, or if I can change the password without knowing
what the old one is? I tried setting up my networking so long ago, that now
that I have actually figured out how to do it, I no longer remember the
password I used.

Which networking password? If you mean the one for your Internet
connection, you'll need to call your ISP. They won't have your
password, but they'll be able to change it for you.

If you're talking about the wireless encryption key, it will show up in
your router's configuration settings. Most routers are configured by
entering their IP address in your browser's addressbar. Ex. for a
Linksys would be http://192.168.1.1.

If you are talking about the password to get into your router's
configuration, you'll need to reset the router to factory condition.
Refer to the router's manual for exact instructions.

If you want more focused help, post back with a better description of
what you are trying to do.
