Windows 10: laptop can not connect wifi which need both user name and password

Today I find that my laptop can not connect to my school wifi anymore while my phone can connect it well. Then I try to reset the internet setting. After that, I find when my laptop wants to connect the wifi needs both a username and password it can not work correctly. It shows connecting directly then it failsI have deleted the stored username and password of wifi but it still shows connecting directly, I can not input username and password now.

Hey bud

I felt so amazed by this question that I signed up to reply
You can change it to what you wish in fact its a must

The importance of using protection on your router is something I can't stress enough

The GPU powered cracking software out now would take about 1 minute to get a password the has a standard word or even a word with a few numbers.

WPA2 AES gives the user some very good protection.

The one thing I see all the time is the router being used with a default name and a default password.
They just plug in and go.
They don't know what is going on until the police show up with a very unpleasant story about some company being hacked and them suspecting you (worst case scenario) or someone driving by your place ripping off wifi names and passwords to be sold to people who are not so nice to commit crimes
Use anything you want for a broadcast name a

1st thing get into router and change the name. This is not so important but companies produce lists that are published and getting the brand of the router is as easy as searching for what router types are being sold to the public by the internet provider. Telus and Shaw Canada are bad for this. That list also contains default passwords and user name

2nd make your passwords into that router strong. Not the WiFi password but the admin password
it used to be you had to be hooked in by a lan cable to be able to get into the router itself so that changes could be made. Not so with today's routers. A wireless connection can get in if they have a way in. Use combinations of letters, numbers, and upper and lower case for that.
The amount of characters are not many that is allowed so make it hard but something you can remember
I use things like My37PasOr0Fe685 (get the idea)

Finally WPA2 AES is strong. 63 characters in length but it will encrypt it.
For instance I can put in Mary had a little lamb whos fleece was white as snow but after it encrypts all your router would accept is the phrase that has been converted to random letters numbers and that is the access code to use. For heaven sake write it down.
A good method of protection in today's routers is only accept connection with a certain mac code
This makes it so only the computer that uses the wireless adapter or Lan adapter Physical address (MAC) will be allowed to connect at all.
You still need the access code for the wireless but even if it gets found out a connection can't be made unless the computer with that MAC code is used.


To end this I would say the best protection to use is done by 2 switches. Make the broadcast of the router hidden and on computer side make sure the connect even if broadcast is hidden is checked

You would have to enter the WiFi network name and its password to connect. It would not show up at all on any connection list.

WIFI Password


I would like to change my wifi password, but I don't know the user name or password.*cry I do know the ip address. My desktop computer is connected with an ethernet connection. I have the option of wifi and/or ethernet, the ethernet is much faster so I use the ethernet connection. I also have a laptop computer and connect to the internet via wifi. I have given out the current password to several people, but now I would like to be more selective on who gets my wifi password. Everything in Windows 10, and my internet work very well. I am a satisfied user of Windows 10. *chuckle I have tried the reset button on the back of the router, holding it for 10 seconds to return to factory settings, but that has not worked. I've removed the power cord for a couple of minutes to, didn't work either. I would appreciate any suggestions on how to change the password and user name on my router. Thanks to all who reply.
