Accidentally hit "forget this network" on wi-fi - HELP!!

I was connected to a public wi-fi and was logged off or trying to get back on b/c it was slow and I accidentally hit "forget this network" b/c i thought it would just disconnect me. Now I'm trying to get back on and obviously I can't b/c none of the wi-fi's information is stored anymore. Besides resetting all the information on the phone is there any other way to get back on to the wi-fi? I work in a hospital and don't get regular service and have to connect through their wi-fi.
Thanks!!

Just get the network name and password again from someone. Or call up your IT department.

    I accidentally tapped "Forget this Network" while attempting to sing into my wi-fi network. Now I am unable to sign into my wi-fi network. If anyone can tell me how to undo this "Forget this Network" it wound be most helpful. Thank you.

    All you need to do is input your wifi password. If you cant remember it, try looking on the router. It might say somthing like WEP key, or WPA key.

    Does the iOS device connect to other networks?
    Does the iOS device see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iOS device connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on your router
    .- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network      
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • I pressed forget this network, please help me fix...

    so basically i have my Cable Modem connected to my Airport Extreme(5th Gen) also my DirecTV is conncted to my airport router. I have all three things going on at the same time, my whole house has wireless from this Extreme. 
    whenever i reboot my internet i unplug the power cord on both the Cable Modem and Airport Extreme 5th Gen. and DirecTV plus iPad Air and a HP cpu. after reboot everything i just named all have fast wireless interenet for Two years, then last week i accidently hit forget this network(my network), after that i can't seem to get my 5th gen extreme to work, so right now i have a straight connection to my modem to my macbook pro..
    help me please to troubleshoot my extreme, it still has that stupid AMBER LIGHT, i cannot install this like a new airport, so i don't know if i need a software to recover from me hitting "Forget This Network" from the Airport Utility app from my ipad air. since last week i can't fix this
    help me please i would so appreciate someone's knowledge

    factory reset your extreme and re-run the setup either with airport utility on a Mac or the airport utility app on an iOS device
    Press and hold the reset button with a pen, pencil, or straightened paperclip until you see the status light (LED) start to flash amber rapidly, which should occur after about five seconds.

  • Airport utility accidentally selected forget this device, and want to recover

    I am running Mountain Lion and using the AirPort Utility 6.1 to manage a Time Capsule.  I accidentally selected "forget this device".  How can I recover from this?

    If the device is still hooked up to your network, power off all other devices on the network in any order that you wish.
    Wait a few minutes
    Start the modem first and let it run a minute by itself
    Start the main router next that is connected to the modem that same way
    Keep starting devices one at a time until everything is powered back up.
    Now check AirPort Utility to see if the device has reappeared.
    If the device does not appear, you will need to "start from scratch" by performing a Factory Default Reset and then reconfiguring it again.

  • I have accidentally clicked 'forget the network' for Bluetooth in my Elantra car on my iPhone. Is there anyway to make the Bluetooth connection discoverable again?

    I have accidentally clicked 'forget this connection/network' on Bluetooth on my iPhone. It was the connection for the Bluetooth in my car. Is there anyway to get it back?

    What I have done whenever I restore iOS to my iPhone and set it up as a new phone is I remove the phone entry in my car's BT; then let my phone discover the car's BT and tap 'Pair' on my phone which would prompt for my car's 4-digit passcode. Final result was the phone re-paired to my car's BT.
    You might be able to still re-pair your iPhone without going through what I described IF it discovers your car's BT.

  • TS1398 Forget this network does not appear. It only allows me to join a network.

    The forget this network does not appear... Only gives me option to join network.  I need to forget network. I hit the i button and it doesn't appear.

    Odd...the only other thing I can suggest is to reboot the Wi-Fi network at work (if you can) and try again.
    EDIT: Do you use something called Quickconnect client to setup a wireless connection? If so, this may help:
    (via Google)
    To remove the wireless profile from an iOS device:
    Go to Settings > General > Profiles
    Select the profile you wish to remove (eduroam or UI-Wireless-Setup, for example)
    Select Remove
    If asked, enter your device’s security PIN number
    Other than that, I'm out of ideas.

  • Hi All. I reluctantly upgraded to IOS 7 last night and now cannot access my home WIFI, all other non Apple devices are fine. I have reset, it will not allow me to 'forget this network', doesnt show the option. I have turned on and off

    Hi All, I reluctantly upgraded to IOS 7.1.1 on my IPAD last night , reluctant as every upgrade which promises fixes which dont impact me causes problems that do , which I fix via this community. Today I can no longer access my WIFI at home, my non Apple devices all work fine.I have tried all the online suggestions I can find for this, reset facgtory settings, it will not allow me to 'forget this network', I try to reconnect and it asks for my password which I know is correct and it says it cannot access my network. It can access an unsecured one I believe, but that is not ideal. Any fresh suggestions would be really welcome, please. Many thanks

    Thanks so much for your reply, yes I did and that has not worked either . A friend has suggested re installing upgrade, so may try that .

  • I pad says forget this network what do i do?

    I have an Ipad2, Version 7.1.2 (11D257) the model is MC769LL/A. Can't connect to my WiFi. It is saying forget this network. I tried. This is my internet service but I can't conneect to it anymore. This happened while I was using my ipad. I can see others but my network say forget this network. went through steps to restrt did not work.

    Are you tapping in the on the right side of the name?
    If so, then that is normal. Its the option to forget the network inside the network details page.   Nothing to worry about .
    As to why its not connecting, tap on the name of the network, rather than the .
    You can tap on the "Forget this network" button to remove it, and try to connect to it again. It will ask you for the network [assword again.

  • Geting blackberry back up after hitting 'forget this device'

    I was trying to use my blackberry software with my new blackberry that was sent to me without the usb lead to attach to the computer, so I tried using Blu-tooth.  It didn't work, but in the course of trying, I hit 'forget this device', trying to get the software to stop looking for the old device, which I don't have.  Anyway, I realised my Kindle lead would work so I attached it to the computer, which still holds all my old backups but the software won't open them & only recognizes the new handset.  How can I by-pass this or patch through this so that I can get my contacts and memos etc from my last back up of my last device? 
    Thank you!

    I am not sure is your previous device was the same type or really a different BB but, if I'm not mistaken, when you call the "restore backup" command in the desktop manager software, you should find somewhere the possibility to explore or open a backup file located elsewhere than the default one.
    Maybe you could give this a try and point to your previous backup files?
    Hope this helps.

  • Forget This Network stopped all access to available network configurations.  How can I enter IP Address, Subnet Mask, etc. to get back the only network available.  HELP!!!!

    I selected Forget This Network on my iPhone 5S by accident. Now I can see the network but none of the IP Address configuration is there.  The phone keeps searching with no result.  Been doing this for 2 days.    I have the IP address information, but I cannot enter it.  I have reset my Network settings, restarted my iPhone, Renewed the Lease.....  I must get wifi soon!!!!  But how? Two weeks ago I had the most current update for my operating system....

     Hey Jeanne,
    The last thing you can try is to reset the network settings on your iPhone. It will clear out the other networks that you have joined. Let me know if this helps.

      Bought a new iphone 6 with Verizon plan 2/11/15. Tried to connect with my home wifi  3 or 4 times with I thought the correct password but now it says Forget This Network and wont let me try again. Can't its the only network available. How do I clear this and start over. Thanks, this laptop connects fine but this is my first smartphone and  I don't see why it gives a crap if I  mess up 50 times! Help!

    Help is right here for you Omichael! Let's get you conneted
    to your home wifi. May I ask are you able to connect to other wifi networks? If
    so then please forget your home network again, turn wifi off, reboot, and
    retest. If this doesn't work then you will want to reset network settings.
    Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Keep in mind that
    this will delete ALL wifi passwords that you have saved.

  • WiFi:  How do I force a "Forget this network"

    I have a network where the temporary password has expired.  When I walk into the building, the iPhone tries to connect.  I'd like to forget the network,but i can't forget it until I successfully login.  But i can't login in bacause the password has expired.
    So how do you force a forget when you can't login to the network first?

    I think that is overkill ...
    If you go into Settings/Wi-Fi, then tap the arrow to the right of the network name it should bring up the network's settings. In there you'll see a "Forget this Network" option. You do not have to be logged into this network to do this.
