As others have said, the FAQ covers that error. And based on your post, two things come to mind:

You're using Kali...which is for experienced Linux users, and then for security and pentesting.
WHY are you trying to 'crack' a wifi password?? The LQ Rules specifically state not to ask about hacking/cracking.
