Mac or PC?
Did you change them? If not, the password is often on the back or bottom of the router...

Yes, you're a bit stuffed. There's a 'show characters' box on the security screen for the connection, but you can only see them when you're actually typing in the password - you can't see it retrospectively. You could navigate to the router (usually 192.168.0.1) and change its security settings (if you have the router password), but then your neighbour's going to have no internet connection when *she* gets back.
It's also possible to set up another p2p network between only your machine and the PS3 - I managed it once recently - if you're just trying to get the two to talk to each other? You might even be able to share your laptop's internet connection, but I always had terrible trouble doing that, and it will probably mean you lose your internet while you're doing it...
EDIT - actually, the latter part above is pointless, since I just read again and see the laptop's on the way out...

You can access the router doing as you suggested(router default U/N and P/W are easily found on net providing you know make/model and havn't been changed from default) then navigate to security settings and it will tell you current ssid and security key etc, or at least it does with my netgear router,and worked for me when i forgot its security key.

There should be a link or a tab somewhere on that page you got those settings from, that say's "wireless setings" or similar, if you click the tab/link there should be a box that says something like "security encryption" and the wireless key/password should be listed.
One thing though,i'd edit your last post and delete your router settings you've posted........

I've got such messages before, even when not posting anything controversial. But when I refresh the page, there's no problem after that. I think it's just a problem with the website.
