Windows 10: Unwanted Password Only Network Added to my Laptop

My husband installed some spyware on my laptop. I noticed today that he has added his "network" to my computer. I tried to remove it, but I have to have his credentials to remove it...what can I do to get it off?

:)

 

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,

 

I added a password to my home network and now laptop disconnects from Wi-Fi

I own an Acer Aspire V3 laptop and upgraded to Windows 10 last year and so far have had no problems with it.

Recently though, I added a password to my wi-fi network and I use an ZyXEL p-320w router. After adding the password, all devices worked properly except for my laptop - it is now registering my network as Public and I have tried reading all forums and fixes
but:

• Wi-Fi only connects once a day for a few minutes up til half an hour
• The network is still marked as Public and I don't know how to change it

Any help would be appreciated!
