How to Change Wi-Fi Password on iPhone

Here you can get information about How to Change Wi-Fi Password on iPhone. If you’ve ever gone to change your Wi-Fi password on your iPhone or iPad, it’s not as straight forward as one would think it should be. 

Instead of Apple using the words “Change Wi-Fi Password” or “Reset Password” for a particular Wi-Fi network, they instead use the phrase “Forget this Network”, which can be confusing. 

When I see words like “Forget this network”, it sounds like they will remove the entire Wi-Fi network completely from my Wi-Fi list, when I just want to change the password to that particular network.  Well, clicking on “Forget this network” isn’t as sinister as it sounds, and is actually what you need to click on to reset a Wi-Fi networks password on your iPhone. 

Here’s how to change the WiFi password on your iPhone:

Step 1: On the iPhone home screen, Select on the ‘Settings‘ app.
