Need own Network Key

I am at my parents' house and they have a wireless router and I a laptop
computer. They would let me connecto to their router, but they don't know
their Network Key. Is there any way I can see on the system what the Network
Key is? If not, is there any way I could connect to their router? If that
would involve resetting a Network Key and reconnecting all of the computers
(they have 2 and my laptop), how would we do that?

Thank you

Yes. Use your parent's computer (or connect a cat5 cable from your PC
to the router) and in the browser type:

http://192.168.1.1

Assuming you/they haven't set a password you should be able to check
from the wireless security tab the encryption key.

Just copy it in a notepad and save it in floppy/USB and use it on your
system.
