Password recovery

I took my laptop to my daughter's house where she has a wireless
network. I was told the password, but unfortunately, was given the
wrong one. When I tried to connect, I got a "network security mismatch"
message. I spoke to my daughter and she told me the correct password.
However, I am not given the chance to change the password. When I try
to connect, I get a message saying "getting information from [name of
wireless network]" and then another saying "cannot connect to [name of
wireless network]".

The only wireless network that shows on my computer (Control
Panel\Network and Internet\Network and Sharing Center) is my personal
one. The other one is not shown at all.

My OS is Windows 7. I assume it stores the passwords somewhere and was
bale to find a freeware program that recovers wireless passwords.
However, it did not recover this one.

Does anyone have any suggestions/advice as to what to do? If I were to
manually add the other wireless network the next time I am at my
daughter's house, would that work?

Thanks.

It sounds like it has the same SSID as a network you've already connected
to, but with different security settings. This behaviour is a feature to
stop you from being tricked into connecting to something pretending to be
your network.
