2350 router WEP password problems advice appreciated

Question

Hi.
I have a 2350 dell router that I set up last year with WEP encryption.I now need to add another wireless device to receive.However idiot I am I,ve lost the WEP key.It is (the key) still there on my Insprion 1150 laptop as when I go to Control Panel>Network Connections>Wireless Network Connections then click on the properties tab of the actual connection I can see the password is there but appears as dots (ie hidden).Is there a way that I can view on the laptop what the password is.I have also downloaded the Dell Utility but it again demands the passwrod to access myrouter.com. Alternatly hoe can I completly reset the router?

On the back of the router, you can push this little button it which should be labeled reset. Use a pen and push it in for about a minute. That will factory reset the router. Then you can get back in and set the password all over again.
