WEP Password - NOOB

[JohnQ-FWB]

Apologize in advance cause I am a complete nerd. I have a T61 with XP Pro and it works great, especially the wireless connection to my router. The problem is that I also (last week) got a second T61 (widescreen) with XP Pro but I have forget/misplaced the wireless profile WEP (stared out in the original T61) password. Is there any way to just copy the file from the original over to to the new T61? What would be the file name & folder location?

A simple Google search with "windows xp recover wifi password" comes up with this:

Lost the password? Good. This is the perfect chance to take the wap offline and change the encryption algorithm. WEP = "super duper bad". You may as well just not use encryption. WPA2 (AES CCMP) is what you want to use. If you are not able to use WPA2 for whatever reason, just turn off all encryption (leaving an open access point) and do mac address whitelist filtering. This will be just as secure as WEP and you will gain throughput. WEP has a lot of overhead with no benefit.
