What should I do when I can not enter a password when you try to connect to a wifi network

I'm currently traveling but I am unable to choose a network from the list of networks that appear.  (I entered it from a family computer.) Then when I click on connect, it takes me to the screen to enter the password.  However, it won't let me type the password.  I tried to copy the password of a MSWord document and it copied 8 nine characters, but still wouldn't let me add the last character.  Any ideas?

I must point out however that I have just went to Starbucks and was able to connect to their wireless network without having to enter a password, and I don't have a problem connecting to my home network either.  Thanks for your help.

    I have an Airport Express, which gives an unexpected error message when you try to connect to a router WEP (Verizon) existing iOS9.3.2

    Sorry, but there is no WEP settings AirPort Utility on the iPhone or iPad, or any Mac version of AirPort Utility which was used for the last 4 years or so.

    Steve,

    Thanks a lot for the link to this article.
    It was most helpful.

    I also found this forum useful post:
    http://www.techsupportforum.com/Networking-Forum/networking-support/114373-cant-map-new-network-drive.html

    In particular, he said to check the event log of the computer that you are trying to connect to (the remote computer) to search for an event ID 2011, which would be entered in the time you finally tried to connect and does not.
    I did alt-click on the icon MY COMPUTER (from the remote computer) and the menu HANDLE, click the EVENT VIEWER folder (in the left pane), and then the SYSTEM folder under that.
    On the right pane, I found an ad for the event ID 2011 at the time wherever I finally tried to connect.

    To test this, I went to the VISTA laptop and tried to connect the computer to Office XP again, which gives a different error message on the VISTA laptop.
    When I went back on the XP desktop I tried to connect to and looked again to the event log, of course ANOTHER event ID 2011 has been registered with the new time of my additional attempt to connect.

    He confirmed that it was likely that the IRPStackSize was the problem, as your proposed article.

    Then I printed article how DO TO SAVE AND RESTORE the REGISTER to: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/322756/
    then backed up the registry (both by running a restore system to register and by exporting from the top level of the regedit).

    I then went in regedit on the desktop in XP for the
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CURRENTCONTROLSET\SERVICES\LANMANSERVER\Parameters file described in your article.
    There was NOT an entry for IRPStackSize in the right pane, so I followed the instructions in the add - it and change it to decimal 15.
    I rebooted and tried to connect but still got the same error.
    The article said that the default value is 15, so I assumed that adding input IRPStackSize to 15 has not changed anything.

    So I went into regedit and changed the value of IRPStackSize of 15 to 18, restarted and it solved the problem.

    I found that the following articles is also useful in the resolution of this problem (aside from the one you gave):

  • When you try to connect to internet it sometimes makes other times it doesn't.

    Sporadic internet connection

    My friend has a very annoying problem with the PC! When you try to connect to internet it sometimes makes other times it doesn't.
    The desktop pc is connected to the router/modem (D-Link WIFI ADSL 2 + G6242) via the ethernet cable, it communicates with the router, but
    not between the router and the net!
    I can connect without problems with laptop wireless, which indicates that the problem is with the Office
    and not the router!
    I suspect that the Office might be infected with malicious software. I've updated all the thing and run Malwarebytes, Spybot
    Search and destroy and Avast AV, nothing malicious is reported.
    I have restored to previous restore points, but the problem persists. It may be a corrupt file but which!
    I would have preferred to resolve this problem, otherwise I'll have to do a restore of the system Dell Factory!
    I'd love to help with this problem appreciate.

    any idea to solve this problem?
    Thank you

    You can get in trouble with your device drivers, firmware and/or software.  Go to the Device Manager by going to start / find and type Device Manager and enter and then double-click on the program icon that appears.  Check each device to a red x, yellow! or white?  These identify devices with problems probably (drivers, but also of conflict or something else).  Click on each for more details and troubleshooting tips.  If you need to get the drivers (and you shouldat least make the modem and everything you have time to do - they can help way beyond simply solve this problem), let the computer dealer or the manufacturer of the device (NOT of Microsoft Updates).  In fact, you must disable automatic updates in Windows Update driver as follows: http://www.addictivetips.com/windows-tips/how-to-disable-automatic-driver-installation-in-windows-vista/. Follow these steps to get the drivers: http://pcsupport.about.com/od/driverssupport/ht/driverdlmfgr.htm.  Once you have the drivers, you can install them via the Manager device as follows:http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/193584-device-manager-install-driver.html.

    Try to uninstall and then reinstall the modem again.  Remove the modem through Control Panel > phones and Modems, then uninstall the modem in Device Manager. Once the reboot is complete and it is reinstalled it should work (as long as you use the update of the above paragraph).  Make sure that you uninstall in this order.

    Are you sure that the modem is compatible with Vista and the rest of your system?  What is the manufacturer, brand and model?  You can find here:http://www.microsoft.com/windows/compatibility/windows-vista/.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

    Hello

    Temporarily disable the security software on both computers and check if it makes a difference.

    Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats.  In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.
