You could reset your router and se up a new password.

If you have access to a laptop or computer (on your WiFi network) you can try the following to get your SSID password:

It won't matter what phone you have if you forgot your WiFi password. The S5 will still ask the password from you. It's not a matter of changing the phone.

Ask a tech savvy friend over or pay someone but either way you won't be able to access your home WiFi network unless you obtain the password. If someone originally set it up for you and they didn't provide you with the passwords to a) log into the router's configuration menu and b) the SSID password to use your WiFi than you'd probably want to have it reset and reconfigured anyway so you do have the necessary infomation. If you just plugged it in and are using its default settings (very bad idea BTW) than there's a good chance the necessary info is printed on a label on the side or bottom of the router itself.

You could just connect to your router by typing in its http:// in the search box and login as user:admin and under passwordpassword and select reset to default,it will reset the router to the default name and password thats on the side or bottom of the router box.
Good health & Good luck to you.

Woudn't it say the password on a sticker on the botom of the router?

 

[ThePhizzle]

Yes,but I'm under the impression that he might have had someone assist him in the process and can not reach contact with that person,or he would have contacted that person and would had asked for a reminder of the password.
This is just a way to access the router through a mobile device,mybe the person that set up the security accidentally put his S7 on the blocked list by accident?

Ok

Did you try running the command without going into administrator mode?
