Default WEB or WAP identifier?

I use Windows XP Pro.
I also use a Comcast 3 in 1 modem (Cable TV, Internet and Voice) and I use a
D-Link router.

Sometime when I set everything up I had to give ( I think) a number, made up
by me, to create security.

I do not remember whether it was when I installed the router or modem.

Anyhow, everything works fine but when a friend comes to visit with a very
late model laptop he can not sign on to my wireless because it asks for that
key or ID or whatever (maybe that number)

I cannot find it in my records and wonder how I can access it so that the
next time he visits, he can use my wireless connection.

You can point your browser to your wireless router's web page and find
your number.

Thanks. I re-created it manually. This time I saved all on thumbdrive and a
printout.
