I've already logged into my router and gone to advanced security settings but it only gives me the option to change the name of the network.  I can view my WPA password but I don't see an option to change it.

I figured it out, finally.  In the event someone else wants to know how to change their WPA shared key here's how it's done:  

1. log into router by typing http://192.168.1.1 in browser window and logging in.

2. Once in your router, goto "Wireless Settings"

3. Then goto "Advanced Security Settings"

3.  Then Click on "WPA" (don't just check the box, click on the letters "WPA"

4. The window to change your password will then open.  Remember to write the new password down.

BTW, I had to change my password because someone hacked into my hidden WPA2 wifi network.
