You could try and crack your WEP password using airsnort. But theres a catch. There needs to be a machine that is sending and recieving wireless packets to and from the router.
So long as there is a machine in your area that regularly sends packets to the router, you can get the WEP code with time. The more packets/data sent, the faster you can snatch the WEP code.
*edit*
Is the WEP code shown in your netgear software using ******'s? If so, you could use a windows debugger to nab that password. If I could remember the name of the debugger I used to use, I'd let you know.
