Re: Upgraded to 4s
If it's on a sticker and it's 8 digits it is WPS which is a major security vulnerability as it is easily hacked. Disable it from within your router and just use a proper WPA2 key. Of course some routers won't let you turn it off and others, Linksys, will tell you it's off when it is not.

Re: Upgraded to 4s
All modern routers we've had, have a label stuck to the back or bottom and the password is unique; or their security would be worthless. This includes those provided by cable providers.

RE: Upgraded to 4s
Hi Tessa, Starting at the end of your post, the WiFi password cannot be viewed. Depending on which router they have, you can see the WiFi password and change it if you know how to log on to the router, but that of course requires a password as well. If your parents never changed it, then you can find out what the default router password is by doing a Google search for your brand/model of router, often a particular brand uses the same default password. For example, Netgear routers usually use "admin" as the user name and "password" as the password. Of course this is supposed to be changed by the user, but you'd be surprised how many users never do change this. If you can't log on to the router you could do a factory reset of the router (there is usually a Pinhole in the back and you poke a paper clip or something like that into it). Of course this would wipe out any custom settings. You will also need the routers Ip address, once again, this is brand specific. Many use 192.168.0.1, some use 192.168.1.1 (Netgear) and there maybe others. OK, now as far as your apps are concerned, you can keep your phones in sync if you use the same Apple Id on both phones and if you go into "Settings" and "Store" and tell both phones to automatically sync apps then if you delete an app on one phone it will also delete from the other phone, if you buy an app on one phone it will also appear on the other phone.
