I Don't Know How to Find the WPA Key for My PSP

A WPA key is a password that protects a wireless router. The WPA key you are asked for when you are trying to log onto a wireless network using your PlayStation Portable (PSP) is the password that will access a nearby router. You should not attempt to bypass the password if the wireless router you are trying to access is not yours. However, you can use your computer to find your IP address and then locate your password if you're trying to access your router and have forgotten the password.
