[Q] ascii wifi wep password - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there any way to enter a wifi wep password in ascii or do I have to enter it in hex? Every time I want to enter a password I have to convert it first from ascii to hex. There must be an easier way.

The better question is does anyone really use WEP anymore? It literally takes < 2 minutes to crack every WEP protected network I've tried.
Can't you just convert it in your head :shrug:. I'm sure there is an app in the market.

use a hex password that's only composed of A-F?

[Q] Why can't I see network?

I'm new to this site so I hope I'm posting in the right area. I was enjoying using my non-rooted G Tablet at work but the recently switched to a new network and my G Tablet can't even SEE it. I've just now wandered around the whole building to no avail. I know it is available and working because the students near me are using their laptops, smart phones, and tablets--and their only option for wi-fi is the school's one network.
They don't have an Android guide available, but they do have information for how to get connected using Windows devices:
Enter the SSID
Change Network authentication to: WPA2
Change Data Encryption to: AES
Click on Authentication Tab
Change EAP type to: Protected EAP
Uncheck Authenticate as computer when computer information is available
Select Authentication Method: Secured Password (EAP-MSCHAP v2)
Uncheck automatically use my windows Logon name and password.
Now, obviously most of these things are not options on the G Tablet (at least not where I know to find them) and I don't know if they are helpful to solving this but I thought I'd include the info. I did try manually adding a new Wi Fi network. I wrote in the SSID, and chose "WPA/WPA2 PSK" option. But then it asked for a password which is not necessary in the guides. I will eventually log on using my work user name and password, but I can't get to that screen (and just out of frustration I did try entering my work password just to see if anything happened--it didn't).
I realize you can't know every setting my work place uses but I hope that's enough to figure out what's wrong. Is there something the G Tablet just doesn't support with the new network? If I rooted, could that help? I feel like the problem has to be my G Tablet since everyone else has working internet. I mainly bought the G Tablet to use here at work for the sites they've blocked. I'll survive without it but I'd really like to get some use out of my device!
Wow, not one helpful comment? Well IT finally got back to me and the woman thinks that my tablet doesn't support WPA2-Enterprise. Is this something I could change with rooting? And if so, which ROM or whatever should I use?

Not sure if these show up on Froyo roms but I'm on GTab Comb v3.3 (Honeycomb).
Try this:
Go to WIFI settings, select add WIFI Network, type in the SSID, for Security select 802.1x EAP, for EAP method select PEAP,for Phase 2 select MSCHAPv2.

[Q] How to Prevent Wifi From Saving a Password

Most of the Questions around Wifi and credentials are the opposite of mine, they want to know where to find saved passwords or how to save them.
I'm trying to determine how to prevent Android from saving the Password when authenticating to a WAP, as we use expiring passwords that change every 2-3 minutes via RSA SecurID token.
At work we use:
802.1x EAP - PEAP
No Phase 2
No CA Cert
No user Cert
DO USE Identity
DO USE Password - RSA SecurID (Changes every couple minutes)
I'd like to figure out how to make droid prompt for a new password everytime it tries to Wifi Connect to a WAP at work, which can happens multiple times through out the day as I move around.
Currently, the droid saves the password (which expires every couple minutes) and then tries to use this expired password on the next reconnect, which locks out my account after a few retries.
So the options I can think of but, can't see a way to accomplish, are:
1. Don't save the password.
2. Prompt for credentials after any authentication failure.
3. Clear the saved password immediately.
Any one have any ideas?

Credential Storage

I've searched around for an answer to this question, but I can't seem to find anything.
My office uses secured 802.1x wireless. When I try and connect, I get a message saying "You must set a lock screen PIN or password before you can use credential storage". Is there a way around this? I really don't want to set a PIN or password on my phone...
Set it, set up your connection, then change your lock back to None. It only needs the lock when it's initially creating the store. You can remove the screen lock once your credential store is set up.
Awesome. I figured it would be something simple.

This didn't work for me, it asks me to create a code (pattern, pin or password) if I want to create, for example, a VPN connection.
Then, lockscreen requires my code to unlock, and it doesn't allow me to change lock back to none because, it says, it's protected under a credential storage.
If I clear my credential storage it clears my saved connections. This was not an issue on stock and on

Lockscreen password due to VPN profile

Hey...
I was trying out some of the new functions in jelly bean on my Ace 2 and I stumbled over the VPN settings where I was prompted to define a password in order to enable the function. I had no idea what it was exactly, just wanted to try it out. Anyway, now the aforementioned password seems to be set as a lock screen password for some reason and I can't make it go away because in the VPN settings there are no profiles listed that I could edit or delete.....
How do I get rid of the password again?

MHS800L, hotspot, reset factory *without* admin password (forgot)

I found this MHS800L on the shelf cleaning the guest room. I activated it as a verizon line of service. I can see the wifi AP and password. I can connect to it. I can see the status page 192.168.1.1.
I cannot login. This requires an admin password. I also don't know the answer to the reset-admin-password security-question. The manual laughably instructs changing the admin password is easy: simply enter the admin password and... yeah, not so helpful. The manual has similar inanity for reset to factory defaults.
The are 2 exterior buttons shown in the FCC photo gallery for FCC ID XHG-R800. One is power. Neither alone nor in combination seem to result in a factory reset.
Verizon wireless support was as useful as expected. The could not remotely reset it either.
I care because it acts as wifi AP for about 20 minutes before dropping the connection. I want to tinker with settings.
Leaving the Jetpack powered up, remove back cover and hold down the "reset" button, recessed in one of the holes, for 15 sec. Let it fully boot and connect to the Jetpacks Now Default "SSID" using the Now Default WiFi password displayed on Jetpack screen. The Now Default "WIFI Password" IS ALSO the "administrator" password used to access and change the Jetpack settings.
