WEP Key

I am on a computer that is currently on a network that uses a WEP key. The
router is not accessible since it belongs to a roommate who has taken off for
the semester. I am trying to configure another new computer to access the
router but it needs the WEP key. Is there any possible way to reveal or find
the WEP key on a computer that is already connected to the router? I can see
where it is entered in to connect, but it is blocked by 'dots' so that I
cannot copy it. Is this possible? Please help.
 
Visit the support web site of the manufacturer of the
router for assistance.
