[KEEP_UNCERTAIN] Hi, I'm trying to reset the password for my modem for my Wi-Fi and I don't know why I would need to because but it's not accepting the password that I know we've used. The thing is, you know, when you've had the Internet and the password all set and you don't need to reset and reset and reset then it's like.

Speaker 1
Yeah, my phone is. But I have a, um, a Chromebook that Excuse me. Um, that was initially connected to it and then it's the one that I had when I was teaching for school. And our tech person scrubbed everything, so it's like, oh, I got to sign in now and it's like, it's not letting me do it. So my phone that I'm talking on right now is connected. That's it's not an issue that the it's not that the internet or the Wi-Fi isn't working. It's that the password that I have that we've used many times, but I haven't had to use it in quite a while, um, is not letting me connect. So I can't connect on the Chromebook now. Which is a problem if I wanna use it.
02:00
Speaker 2
do you have like uh devices that are currently connected to this network mm-hmm uh okay I think um okay um and like what phone do you have right now
02:00
Speaker 1
I have an Android. a Samsung. I don't know. Um um on my phone. I haven't. I'm not that tech savvy to think to look at that. Is there is there a way that we can just reset it? Sorry? for the password that's on the router.
03:00
Speaker 2
Is it possible for you to check the password on your Wi-Fi settings for that network? Have you tried to check? [silence] Yes. [silence] On your phone. Mm mm-hm. [silence] Um, what phone is that again? [silence] Because for you to reset the password for your router, you need to use a computer for that, since it needs a web browser. [silence] Then, you need to access the settings and you need to still log in using the router password. [silence] Um, router password is like an admin password. [silence] Um, it's a different password than the Wi-Fi. [silence] So, but if
03:00
Speaker 1
All right, so how am I supposed to go about doing this? Because I I am not getting it. Samsung, Android.
04:00
Speaker 2
If you cannot remember your router password, usually the default password for that one is admin, all in lowercase, unless the brand is Apple. What brand of phone do you have? so you can check your password if it's the real password that you are trying to connect. You go to your settings and go to Wi-Fi.
04:00
Speaker 1
Oh. Right at the top. You're looking way down at the bottom. All right. Connection. Oh, there's spaces in between. I don't know, done. That's not what my husband wrote down.
05:00
Speaker 2

I can't ask him, he passed away two years ago, but I'm writing what and he was never good in his password book about indicating if there was spaces or not. I've got fairwinds47 all written together, and it looks to me on my phone like it's space between fair and winds and 47. Well, it might just be it. Let me see. Let's just try this thing. Son of a gun. Oh my gosh. All right, well, I learned something new today. Thank you for walking me through that. I, you know, I probably should have called my tech person, but it's like, I'm just gonna call. I was chatting with somebody from Spectrum and he's like no, we can't do anything with the password. You got to contact somebody from the then he gave me your number. Okay, I'm in. Thank you for the help with the settings. Oh my gosh. Technology is not my friend. Um, uh, thank you so much. I appreciate it. Yeah, you should too. Bye. Yeah, I'm all good. I'm hooked up. Thank you so much. You too. Bye.
