    Forgot password....

    No can't be changed, unless you can access the admin account in safemode.

    you can also try ERD commander.

    but that is in the case if the password is for OS

    if its a bios password you would have to try to reset the bios by using a jumper.
    Or getting a master password from the manufacturer
     
  3. Phone won't connect if I change wifi password

    The new password is definitely allowed and saved - all my other devices connect with no problem every time I change wifi passwords (There are 2 desktops, 1 laptop and 2 other phones using my wifi). It's just this Lumia 520 which doesn't connect.
    Or am I missing something?

    Phone won't connect if I change wifi password

    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
    Configure

    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 trying to change device password changes the account password not the device password ;)
