At one time or another, you may come to the point where you need to <\/span>change passwords<\/span><\/a>.

Or you probably typed the wrong password. You can use this method to set up a new password to change the one that Windows 10 has saved earlier. <\/span><\/p>\n An easy way to fix this is by changing it at the Network and Sharing Center. You can quickly change the Wi-Fi password to a new one as an admin and make it safer. It’s how Windows 10 gains access to your Wi-Fi network, and you can safely connect to the internet using the new password after that. <\/span><\/p>\n Another method of setting up your new Wi-Fi password is by removing and reconnecting your Wi-Fi using a new password. To do that, go to Settings > Network & Internet > Wi-Fi. Getting the shortcut to this process is by simply holding down the Window button on your keyboard and pressing “i” – you will get to the same screen faster.<\/span><\/p>\n Recommended reading:<\/strong><\/p>\n You can also use a shortcut by clicking on the Wi-Fi icon in the lower-right section of the screen. Then find the Manage known networks highlighted text and click on it. It will give you a list of all known Wi-Fi networks to your computer. <\/span><\/p>\n Click on any network that you wish to change the password to. You will see two options – Properties and Forget. Choose Forget, and the computer will remove it from the list. But do keep in mind that this process automatically changes the saved passwords from your devices to get into the Wi-Fi network. <\/span><\/p>\n It will not change the password of your Wi-Fi network on the router to gain access to the system. We will discuss <\/span>changing the security password on your router<\/span><\/a> in the second part of the article below. <\/span><\/p>\n In the meantime, to get back to your Wi-Fi connection, click on the Wi-Fi icon and look out for the network name. The Wi-Fi name should reappear on the list if it’s close enough to the device. If you can see it, click to reconnect, and the computer will prompt for a fresh password. <\/span><\/p>\n You can always set the Windows 10 to connect automatically, as you would do with the old password. <\/span><\/p>\n How to Change\/Forget Wi-Fi Password in Windows 10<\/i><\/b><\/p>\nChanging Wi-Fi Password That Windows 10 has Saved<\/h2>\n
