Reaver will report the WPS passphrase that the router gives it. It may be
possible that the AP does not provide its current WPA key to registrars,
although that would be non-standard. Might be an obvious question, but the AP
does use WPA encryption, correct?

You should make sure you are running version 1.3. It will automatically save
your state and remember the pin for you. :)
This may be that the AP just doesn't provide the key to a registrar. But you
should be able to reconfigure the WPA key using wpa_supplicant once you get the
pin. What make/model is the AP?

What do you mean by "But you should be able to reconfigure the WPA key using
wpa_supplicant once you get the pin" ? Also not sure what make or model the
router is. I was using 1.2 now im using 1.3.

WPS registrars can reconfigured the WPA key, along with some other wireless
settings, but you have to know the AP's WPS pin in order to become a registrar.
Once Reaver has broken the WPS pin, you can supply that pin to wpa_supplicant
and re-configure the AP's wireless settings. I don't remember the
wpa_supplicant commands to do that off hand though.

so if i get the pin even if it comes up blank i can use the pin to get the
password? where could i find that info?

You can't get the administrator password. But you can re-configure the WPA key
so something of your choosing. I'd check the wpa_supplicant and wpa_cli
documentation for the details.

Yes, you can change the WPA passphrase even if you don't know what it is
currently set to.
