Hi guys.
I am finally getting around to setting up my Apple TV, but have encountered a problem.
It will not, no matter how many times I try, recognise my WPA password.
I have no unusual characters really, a couple of # and &, but nothing that's not on the virtual keypad, so I am stumped.
My iPod touch and laptop are connected no problem at all, and the iMac connects if I take the ethernet cable out, so I know the password is right.
I really don't want to reset the password either, so does anyone else have any clues, or even come across this with theirs.
Cheers for any responses. (Kev, getting progressively bald from hair pulling)

We could delete it, but why don't you tell us how you resolved the problem as it may benefit someone else - and will show up in a forum search.

I solved it by actually entering the code correctly (blush).

I have my code in text document for reminder, and on the document lower case i and upper case l look the same. I chose the wrong one (slaps forehead in moment of dimness).

Now I know you won't delete it because you want people to mock me and my idiocy :D

Cue laughter and finger pointing....
