    How to change wifi password on Windows 10 without deleting it?


    It seems in W10 it is impossible to just change the password for a wifi. Now, my credentials have changed, though I cannot just change the password. Instead, I have to forget the network and set it up all from scratch. That is very ridiculous. It involves setting up user name and other settings, that I don't always know by heart.

    Phone won't connect if I change wifi password

    I'm sure I had tried that. Anyway, I did it again (deleted the connection, changed wifi password, did a wifi search, inputted new password) and it didn't work.
    It connects only if I change the password back to the original one, even though after doing the above I have to type the old password manually.

    This post states that you did'nt Apply the router config after changing the password.

    Possible the router memory is bad or not saving new setting
    Change the password reboot the router , check after in router if new password saved
    If not, reset router to factory default and re setup
    check if setting saved after reboot

    If do change router password the network will need to be deleted off phone and connect again (or it trying to connect to old saved wifi password ) or could manually change it on phone and save ( as others have stated )

    192.168.1.1
    home network
    Wlan

    Change password and apply , Make sure "Allow new Devices - set to -new stations are allowed (automatically) "

    Using same router myself , Free from ISP not the greatest at all *Wink How to change wifi password on Windows 10 without deleting it? ;)

    Help with changing wifi password?


    No. That will NOT change your WiFi password. The router administration password and WiFi password are two completely different passwords.
