Finding Your Airport Express Password: A Simple Guide

If you've forgotten your Airport Express password, there are a few ways to find it. One way is to reset your Airport Express to its factory settings. To do this, you need to disconnect the base station from its power source, press and hold the reset button, and then plug the base station back in while continuing to hold the button for around five seconds. Another way to find your password is to go to Applications > Utilities on your Mac, select the Keychain Access app, and then select the Password menu on the left. Type base station into the search bar. This should show you the password for your WiFi network.

Finding the default password

If you've forgotten your Airport Express password, there are a few ways to find it.

First, you need to clarify whether you're looking for the password to access your wifi network, or the password to configure your AirPort Express base station. The base station password is used to change the settings of an Airport base station, and isn't necessarily the same as the password for accessing the wifi network broadcast by the base station.

If you're looking for the wifi network password, you can find it in your Keychain. On your Mac, go to Applications > Utilities, then select the Keychain Access app. Select the Password menu located on the left side. Double-click on the password of type "AirPort network password" and turn on the "Show Password" checkbox.

If you're looking for the base station password, you can also find this in your Keychain. It will be labelled as "base station".

If you can't find the password in your Keychain, or if you've forgotten it, you may need to reset your Airport Express to its factory settings. To do this, disconnect the base station from its power source. There is a small hole above the 3.5mm audio jack on the back of the base station (where the plug-ins are) that is about the size of a paper clip. Press and hold the Reset button with a pen, pencil or straightened paperclip, then plug the base station back in while continuing to hold the button for approximately 5 seconds until you see the three status lights glow. This will erase all of your settings and reset them to their original values.

Using the Keychain Access app

If you're looking for your Airport Express password, you can use the Keychain Access app. Here's how:

First, go to Applications > Utilities, then select the Keychain Access app. Once you're in the app, select the Password menu located on the left side. Type "base station" into the search bar. Double-click on the password that appears and turn on the "Show Password" checkbox. This will reveal the password for your WiFi network.

It's important to note that the base station password is different from the WiFi network password. The base station password is used to change the settings of an Airport base station, while the WiFi network password is for accessing the network broadcast by the base station. If you're having trouble finding your WiFi network password, make sure to look for a Kind of "AirPort network password" in the keychain.

If all else fails, you can reset your Airport Express to its factory settings. To do this, locate the small hole above the 3.5mm audio jack on the back of the device. Disconnect the base station from its power source, then press and hold the Reset button with a pen, pencil, or straightened paperclip. Plug the base station back in while continuing to hold the button for about 5 seconds, until the three status lights glow. This will erase all your settings and reset them to their original values.
