Windows 10: network name and/or password

How do I change network name and/or password?

:)

 

How can I find the password for my Windows 10 laptop?

I found a solution to my problem. What I did was:

1. Open Network & Sharing Center on the laptop.
2. Click "Change advanced sharing settings"
3. Expand the "All Networks" item.
4. Change "Password protected sharing" from On to Off.

Now when I click my laptop name in File Explorer > Networks, it just shows my shared folder without asking for a network credentials password. This is how it used to work before.

Hope this helps others,

Hi Jerry,

The network name and password that you see on your mobile hotspot is automatically set by Windows as default. If you wish to change these information, you can follow the steps below:

• Type Settings in the search box and press Enter.
• Select Network and Internet.
• Select Mobile hotspot.
• Click Edit.
• Type in your desired network name and password.
• Click Save.

Let us know should you need further assistance.

 

Windows 10; Network Name

Hi,

The Registry steps follower that resolved the issue.

But could you tell us why it appears to select a network status name based on your past Wi-Fi network connections, and then applies it to your wired Ethernet connection?

Thanks.
