If you've forgotten your Wi-Fi username and password, you can connect to the internet by using an ethernet cable to connect your router to your computer. Make sure to check to see if your computer requires an adapter to connect to an ethernet cable. Once you're connected, you need to find your router's IP address. For a Windows computer, open the command prompt and type “ipconfig.” Press enter to pull up your computer’s information and jot down your router’s IP address. If you have an Apple computer, open System Preferences. Then, click your network’s name and select “Advanced.” Pull up your router’s IP address and write it down. Once you have your IP address, open a web browser on your computer and type your IP address into the URL. Press enter, then enter your network credentials on the page that comes up. Use your old Wi-Fi password or enter the default information that's listed on your router and press enter. Finally, look for the “Password” or “WPA-PSK Key” field, click it, and enter a new password to change it. Did this summary help you?
