    Help with changing wifi password?


    So are you saying that I should enter my "PW" into the field and then I will get to the wifi or wireless settings page?

    That section is for the password you enter to get into the routers settings. You need to go to your WiFi or wireless settings page, look for the security options, and the WiFi password will be listed as either Password, or Key, or WPA Key.

    On my router it's the Password (Network Key) block:

    Changing my Wifi password

    Hi,

    To properly reconnect to the WiFi network, it is always advised to forget and reconnect to the network once the password is changed. However, you can follow these steps if you just want to update its password:

    • Click the Windows key, then select Settings.
    • Click Network & Internet.
    • Under WiFi, click Change adapter options.
    • On the Network Connections window, click the WiFi connection.
    • Click the Wireless Properties tab.
    • Verify if your device is connected to the correct network.
    • Click Security.
    • Update the password under Network security key.
    • Click OK, then Close.

    Once done, try to check if you are reconnected to the network.

    Let us know if you need further help.

    Regards.
