If you need the password to connect to the network, not for the router itself (for the settings), then just log into the IP address for the router (192.168.0.1 for a Linksys), then eneter the default username and password for the router configuration (easily found in the instruction book or via a search online).

Once there, you need to find the Wireless Security settings for the router via the tabs at the top of the screen, and look for the WEP or WPA password. They should be listed there, with the key that you will need to enter for the laptop your brother is using.
