just change it to the right one. the router should have a way to generate a key by the means of a passphrase. if not, then set the key manually to the one you want (use hexadecimal - the 0-9 numbers and the a to f letters - for genrating it) and then set it in your networkmanager and you should be able to connect without problems.
