wireless network today. I did what i could but then it says to configure it
automatically. I tired to do that but i don't know what to put for the
password. Can someone please tell me step by step how to connect my computer
to a wireless conection?

Who setup your wireless router or AP? Do you have a password?

What you need to use for the password depends upon what WiFi equipment and
software you're using. Knowing what you need to do starts with knowing what the
equipment that you have is capable of doing.
