So I am currently living with my grandfather since my grandmother passed away last year.

We have wifi, but its password enabled. He tells me the only person that knew the password was her.

Hes not very coordinated when it comes to technology, but I know my gma has it setup. You can see her wifi in my settings on my phone pop up.

I have tried the password on the back of the router but no luck. Is there anyway to be able to change or access this password without having to call them?

Trying to persuade him to do so is damn near impossible.

lmk what you think I am trying to get back online when Im at home :P

Should be a master reset button that will reset the router so you can set a new password.

It will probably be very small and require a pen or something to press since it will be recessed to avoid accidental presses.

If any devices are currently connected you will have to reconnect them, but it shouldn't mess anything up besides that.

Idk how old this is but if you still need help if your grandmother had a laptop or whatever that's still connected to the wifi you should be able to right click the internet icon and go into advance settings and find out the password through there



Did this at work one day
