Keep your question in one place, please.

WEP password length is either 5 or 13 characters, nothing else.
So 10 is not possible for a WEP. Maybe you have WPA/2?

Go to system settings connections and edit the desired WiFi.
There you can change the security method. Set it to WPA-PresharedKey. This most probably will work (as you say you have 10 char password).
