As for the first time, your router's wireless network will ask for wireless password. So for that you have to check your wifi router manual or wireless device boxing to find the password. In my case I found that password on a detailed sticker beneath my router.

Now put the username and password there. By default the username and password is "admin"

Now in the configuration settings of your router search for System Tools and then password. There put new username and password in the asked place.
