Wireless Internet Question

House with three computers all sharing same connection, 2 wireless, 1 via ethernet cable into router.

Wireless network is unprotected (we'd been meaning to get round to it). Now the two wireless PC's are being asked for network authorisation keys. It seems someone who has been stealing our network has managed to lock us out of it. Funnily enough the wired one is still working.

Any help would be appreciated, any help at all.
