do not want to use unauthorized network without

Administration, but the guy that knows the key is
not here. If there is no way to do it, then I rest
my case! The person can die and then the key is
lost to the network. There has to be a way to do
it. The computer could access the network before.
it was set up by wireless dhcp, but now someone who
manages the network put a key and many
users(teachers) cannot access the internet. The
person that takes care of that is on vacation. Is
there a way or not?

Despite what others are saying in general the answer
is no. It is
equivalent to asking how oyu can login to an account
someone who is not
available to give you his passwd. The answer is you
can't without
resorting to hacking.
