The default wireless SSID and WIFI KEY is printed on a sticker on the inside of the device. If you take off the cover to look at the battery, it's on the cover - no, not under the battery, leave the battery where it is - the sticker is on the cover,in your other hand. Yes, there.

If you changed the settings so that you cannot access the device, then you can reset it to default settings:

Take off the cover, but don't take out the battery.
Find the reset switch. It's labelled "RESET", printed in white on a white background. You can't possibly miss it.
Use a ball point pen to click the RESET switch.
Use the default settings printed on the cover.

Once you have connected your wireless network to the device, you should be able to browse to http://mifi.afrihost.com/ and, failing that, you should be able to browse to http://192.168.1.1/

The default parameters are user "admin", password "admin", and changing these is a fairly good idea.

I hope this is helpful to you!
