How to change the WiFi password

Almost everyone has a WiFi network in their home and the most common issue that they face is that when someone asks you the password and you can't find the word how to ignore them and you give them the password and they started misusing it, eating all of your bandwidth accessing the private data on the network and this and that. If you went through the same situation the very first thing that will come to your mind will be that you should change your WiFi password. But you don't know how to do that. Well in this tutorial I will be teaching you how to reset your WiFi password.

Before we get started I first want you to look up the IP address and login details of your WiFi router. It is written underneath the wireless router and can also be found in the manual of your WiFi router.

NOTE: If that IP didn't worked chances are ISP might have changed the router's IP address after the configuration to prevent any tweak or mess with the settings, and you have to reset your WiFi router settings to revert back the IP address. This can be done by holding the reset button on WiFi router for 5 second and configuring it again. I have written a tutorial about it here you can look it up.

 So lets get started.
  1. Open your web browser and in the address bar type the IP address of your wireless router.
  2. Type the login details and press enter.
  3. Locate and click on "Wireless" option.
  4. Next to "Security" or "Share-in-key" type the password and click "Save".
Done. The steps above may vary on different vendors but they will be some what similar. If you need help comment below.
