Vista and security identification
Steve Gibson's site has a passphrase/hex generator: https://www.grc.com/passwords. htm (I know you don't like Steve, but he is an internet institution). That's why I personally use and recommend long diceware word passphrases (32+ characters). Vista is reported to come with a password manager.

Enter 128bit WEP

Vista Fresh Install (it still sucks)
I have tried all the tricks including unplugging the router for 30 seconds. Are you getting an IP address in the 169.xx.xx.xx range?
