    I am trying to connect to a wireless network with a Mac book.  The network has WPA2 protection.  I have the network security key.When I try to log on it ask for the password.  I don't have.   Can I get the password or is there a way I can log on with the key

    Have you tried using the "key" as the password.  The names "key" and "password" are often used interchangeably.

    Do you also mean of having 2 password keys or security keys? What do you mean log on? The network security key you refer could also be your password.
