Hi Marcus, If it’s a Apple Wireless Network: "When you enter a WEP, WPA2, or other encryption key or passphrase in Mac OS X, it’s stored in the Keychain. You can run Keychain Access (found inside /Applications/Utilities/) to delete entries you no longer wish to store or to retrieve passwords that you have forgotten. Keychain passwords are secured with your Mac OS X user password."
If you need to change the Network’s Password: Change your Wireless Network’s name and password Open AirPort Utility, located in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder. In the graphical overview <https://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=link&apdid=aprt3bb53acf&viewlocale=en_US&bookId=Airport%20Utility%20HelpPP409>, select the base station you want to configure, then click Edit. You may need to enter a password for the base station. Click Wireless. Do any of the following: Change the wireless network name: Enter a new name in the Wireless Network Name field. Change the wireless password: Enter your new password in the Wireless Password and Verify Password fields. 5. If you want the wireless password to be remembered in your OS X keychain <https://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=link&apdid=aprt8caccd20&viewlocale=en_US&bookId=Airport%20Utility%20HelpPP409>, select “Remember this password in my keychain.” 6. To save your changes, click Update. If it’s another Wireless Network you will need to supply details for anyone to help.
