How To Change Wifi Password On Windows 10

I recently had to return my laptop to default settings to fix a problem that hadn't responded to anything else I'd tried. Restoring the default settings involved going back to the original Windows 8 software and losing everything I had always uploaded onto the computer. It wasn't a big deal, because I had my stuff backed up. It was however annoying because I would have to upload all my software again and set up my preferences and profiles anew.

After the reset I connected to my internet with no issues. Simply then several days later, when I was accessing the net in the far reaches of the master sleeping room, I had a super weak signal.

This is non a big bargain, considering I accept a router extender that helps relay the indicate to even these remote parts of the house. It was all the same abrasive because I had to re-enter the Ridiculously Long and Complicated Password (or RLCP) that I take assigned to our network—which my husband curses me for, daily. I typed in my password and clicked the "Connect Automatically" box and and so waited to connect.

It didn't connect.

I was 99% certain that I had a typo in the RLCP. Typos happen. Unfortunately, every time I tried to connect again it never gave me the opportunity to re-enter the password… so I was kind of locked out of my own extender. Curses!

Windows 10 has inverse things up a bit, so I figured I would spare you guys the learning curve I've gone through. First of all, you can detect your PC settings in the new Windows 10 settings app.

Hold down the windows key while you printing "i".
Click "Network and Internet".

You can likewise get to the Network settings just as chop-chop from the WiFi network list.

Click on the WiFi Symbol on the correct side of the windows toolbar. If you lot can't see information technology, try clicking the ^ to encounter more options.
Look toward the bottom of the WiFi networks list and click on "Network Settings".

A list of your remembered networks volition automatically announced. If you would like to alter a password to one of these networks the easiest manner is:

*Proceed in mind: This is not how y'all modify the security password for your network. Rather, this is the style you would change the password that your device has saved to access your network without making your re-enter the password every fourth dimension.

You can now go back to the Windows toolbar to encounter the listing of available WiFi connections.You will see that forgotten network listed again (if you are in range). Click on information technology, and when prompted to, enter the new countersign, or the correct password as the case may exist.
