Program to guess wireless password?

    I'm wondering does anyone know a program that can try to get into a wireless network by guessing the password? I’m locked out of my wireless network and my flatmate is on holiday, I do not know the password. I’m sure it’s probably some simple string of numbers – so I’m wondering if there is a program that will try to guess it?

    I had a quick search and there seems to be programs that can do various things like this I just have no idea which one to try
    Thanks

    Connect up to the router with your LAN cable and retrieve it that way. What router is it?
