Remote help

I am trying to set up my TV to receive internet.  When asked for the Passphrase, I attempted to put in my numbers.  It took the first one but all others came up on TV screen as Letters.  How do I get my remote to make numbers NOT letters?

It uses the "T9 Language" like on the older cell phones. You have to keep pressing the number until it filters through the capital letters, lower case letters, and then eventually the number. So about 7 presses should give you the number you need. When you are done with the password. double check to make sure it is correct and press the DOWN arrow key and select continue.
