I used to use next doors wireless internet, it was password protected but it was the same as the name of the router they use? Just a totally random guess and got it right first time. I was shocked and felt lucky so I played the lottery the same day, I didnt win 
Make sure you make it hard to guess

u have a wireless modem?? or do u mean router?
if u type in your IP address into your web address bar it will bring up your router secuity. set it from there but u got to make sure that all systems connecting to the network have the same password or u won't be able to connect.

For a basic setting yes but it's set up a WPA key.

yup, as long as your wireless router has it, which it more than likely will... just enter the router setup page, then click on the wireless tab somewhere and away you go.

Lost the password on the computer? The wep key?. You would have to log into the router via an ethernet cable to see what it is. Or if you have lost the router admin password then you need to physically reset the router. Usually a little reset switch on the back.

If you're the paranoid type, I probably shouldn't tell you that WEP hackable.
There are guides all over the Internet on how to do this.
WPA is your best bet, and your instruction manual/setup guide will give you step by step on all this...
