So your neighbor pays monthly for internet, you asked to use their connection, and they were just like, "Sure you can use it, I like paying so that other people can mooch off me"?  You must have one cool neighbor.

Btw...if you have permission to use the network, whether it's "locked" or not shouldn't be a problem because you could go and ask them for the network security info...
