How can I use a Personal Area Access (PAA) to gain access to my hotspot?

It can be infuriating when you cannot remember your wifi or hotspot password. If you have forgotten your hotspot password or it isn’t working, there are a few strategies you can attempt to figure out the password and connect to the internet. This article will provide steps and suggestions that you can take to get back up and running on your own wifi or public hotspot.

What Is a Hotspot Password?

A hotspot password is generated by a wifi or hotspot router to provide security from others using the same network. It’s a password that you must enter each time you log in to the router, ensuring you are the only one using the signal. Your hotspot or wifi password is typically a combination of letters, numbers, and symbols.

Check Router and Its Settings for the Hotspot Password

The easiest way to find your wifi or hotspot password is to check your router. The password should be printed on the underside or side of the router as a set of letters and numbers. If the router does not have any letter and numbers printed, then you can check the router settings for the wifi password. To access the router settings, type the IP address associated with the router into the address bar of your web browser. You will be prompted to enter the username and password of the router to access the settings. This information is typically included in your router setup instructions. The current wifi password will be listed in the settings page.

Restore Default Settings of Router

If your current wifi password is not listed in your router settings, then you can attempt to restore the router’s default settings. You can do this by pressing the “Reset” button that should be located on the router itself. Resetting the wifi will restore the original settings, including the default password. After resetting, you must then reconnect the router to the internet and create a new password for your router. This new password should be as secure as possible, with a combination of letters, numbers, and symbols.
