How do I delete a wifi network when I don't have the password?

Yesterday, I had some work done on my home network, which affected all my wireless devices.  I was able to get everything up and running, but the Ipad.  I have a different type of encryption now and can't connect to my Ipad.  My nephew, who did the work, wants me to delete the current wifi and then start over so it will see the current wifi network.  The network that is showing is my new network name, but I type in the password and I get an unable to join/dismiss message.  I have tried to reset network settings, but I still see the same network.  My nephew won't be back until later in the week, I miss the wifi. 
Any ideas?
Thanks.
Nan

I'm not sure if this will work for you, but it's worth a shot.
TRY THIS:
Go to Settings > Wi-Fi > select 'Other...' > Enter Network Name and Security Password > select 'Join'
MY SETTINGS:
The router is set to WPA2 Encryption.  The iPhone 'Wi-Fi Networks' settings is set to 'Ask to Join Networks'
ISSUE BACKGROUND:
I had a problem where my iDevice (iPhone 4) would not automatically connect to my Wi-Fi router even though the name - linksys - was always present.  I didn't want to 'Reset Network Settings' yet as there were some  hotspots I didn't want to have to go through the hassle of entering 16 to 32 character passwords again.  I was planning to try the 'Forget this Network' option, but it wasn't present.  I tried the step above as a long shot and it worked.  Hope this helps.

  • How do you delete an itunes account when you don't have the password.

    My partner's itunes account was hacked. She cannot get into it.  Neither her id nor her password work.  Apple has said they will put a "hold" on the account, but this renders itunes useless and it seems you can't start a new (second) itunes account on the same iPad/iPhone/iPod.  How can you delete the itunes account altogether so that she can start a new one? 

    I assume you're using an iOS and not an OSX device here. If not, then let me know.
    Go to Settings>Scroll down to iTunes and App Stores>Click Apple ID>Click Sign Out
    Then, create a new account on the web and sign in
    I hope this works

  • How can I delete my Icloud account when I don't know the password and no longer have the email address associated with it?

    How can I delete my Icloud account when I don't know the password and no longer have the email address associated with it?
    You need your password to delete it and I need the email address to reset the password.  I feel like I'm going in circles!!!  Please help!!!

    Go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address (you shouldn't need to verify the old account).  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • How do i delete an old account when i don't know the password or have access to the email?

    it keeps wanting to sign me back into my old iCloud address.. main problem is that the 'find my iPhone' app can't be deleted and changed to the new iCloud because I can't remember the password and the email it's linked to was hacked so I have no access and therefore can't reset my password!? Need to do it urgently now as it's been smashed and going off for repair and they won't repair/ replace it without that app deleted!

    If I'm understanding this correctly, you have a broken iPhone that needs repaired, however you need to disable Find My iPhone before the repair can be completed and you cannot remember the password to that account?
    First to try on your own, go to iforgot.apple.com.  Use the AppleID that was used to set up that iPhone or was signed into iCloud.  You will be given a choice of reset by email or security questions.  Since the email is out of the question, you'll choose security questions.
    If you cannot remember the answers, or more likely how you entered them as the answer are case sensitive, then you'll have to contact AppleCare.  They can attempt to verify the account with you, and if they can then send a reset password email to any email address you choose.  Just be aware that if you have to use this route, it will take a minimum of 24 hours for the email to arrive.  Make sure the email provider accepts email from @id.apple.com.
    If you cannot verify the account, then AppleCare can have FMiP removed from that device, but you will have to send in the purchase receipt for that device.  It has to be a valid receipt from a qualified reseller, so eBay sales receipts or hand written ones will not work.  That process can take up to 48 hours to complete as the FMiP team has to verify all the info.  If they can, then they will strip FMiP from the device and assign it to a different AppleID.

  • How can i remove the icloud from my iphone when i don't have the password?

    I have a new iPhone where I restored from an old iPhone. The old iPhone had an iCloud account I hadn't used and I don't know the password. How can I remove the old iCloud account from my new iPhone? It keeps asking for the old password I don't have.

    You won't be able to delted the existing account without the password.  If you don't know it, you'll have to reset it as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2617.  If you have trouble doing this, you can try contacting the Apple account security team for your country for assistance: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699.  You will have to prove your identity before they will reset the password.

  • How do i delete my icloud account if i don't have the iphone anymore?

    How do i delete or deactivate my icloud account on an iphone that i no longer own...I sold it to someone, but they said that i need to delete my icloud account..im kinda new to this stuff and don't have a clue what to do, can anyone help me with this or give me some advice? thank you

    In a web browser, log in to your www.icloud.com account.  Under the find my devices, you can erase the device, then delete it from your list of devices.  That will effectively disable Activation Lock on the device.

  • How can I cancel my icloud account when I don't know the password that it has with my wrong email address?

    My IPhone5 wants my password, but it doesn't have the right email address on it.  It won't let me delete the icloud because it demands that I give it the password that icloud has stored.  Please help!

    The iCloud account is your account ? If it's somebody else's account then you will need to contact that person and ask them to remove the phone from their account.
    If it is your account then see if you can get the password reset via http://appleid.apple.com
    If you can't then try contacting Support in your country and see if they get you access to it : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699

    Thank you but I tried that and it still shows up as a network. I live out in the country and shouldn't have any other networks close. I am afraid of a security breach.
    As far as networks showing up when you right click the WiFi icon in the Menu Bar, you will always see those that are close by. I know of no way to hide or remove those.
    What leroydouglas provided is correct to remove any WiFi networks you have previously connected to.

  • Can't talk to other apple products outside of wifi or when I don't have data. What's wrong and how can I fix it ?

    So I just bought a new iPhone 4S and I have to share my data with four other people so to avoid using it up I use wifi whenever possible. I use iMessage to talk to iPhones but when I'm not around wifi or when I don't have any more data, I don't receive any of their regular SMS messages but I can send them. I checked my friend's iPhone and he receives my message as an SMS but when he replied it was still in iMessage. Is it not detecting that my iMessage is off ?What's wrong and
    how can I fix it ?

    I think I fixed the apps, though.
    *Turn off your wifi and only turn it on when you want to use it
    *Lower your brightness
    *Turn off "Push" on notifications and mail and turn on "Manual"
    *Return to your home screen and then double click twice and tap and hold one of the apps you've previously opened, when they jiggle tap the red on each app until fully erased.
    *Don't use your ipod while it is charging, allow at least a 10 minute charge (fully charged) before using it again.
    See if this helps(: ... I still have no answer bout the camera issue. I might be going to apple soon so we will see then.

  • How can I delete an app from launchpad, that doesn't have the little cross in the left top corner. The app isn't an App Store app. The application is also not present anymore in my application's folder in finder.

    How can I delete an app from launchpad, that doesn't have the little cross in the left top corner. The app isn't an App Store app. The application is also not present anymore in my application's folder in finder.
    I tried to use the attached command through TERMINAL :
    sqlite3 ~/Library/Application\ Support/Dock/*.db "DELETE from apps WHERE title='Help';" && killall Dock
    sqlite3: Error: too many options: "DELETE from apps WHERE title='Help';"
    Use -help for a list of options.
    But i didn't work as I got the above error message.

    I'm in the same boat as you -- except that I manage both a school lab (volunteer job) and macs in the enterprise (pay job).  What I think we need is the Education Volume Purchasing Program
    http://www.apple.com/education/volume-purchase-program/faq.html
    Unfortunately this all seems a little rough around the edges -- for example, I have found updates for AppStore apps on the support.apple.com updates download site, but then when I install them via ARD they don't actually update the software.  (The AppStore icons still show as needing the updates, and the version info reports the old version.)  The documentation is also vague about which AppleID to use in which circumstance.  I think they just haven't finished thinking through the implications of the various procedures and policies upon the various kinds of customers.  When we deployed Mountain Lion on the school lab, we made an install usb and went around and installed it on each computer -- and it appears that you are on the honor system as far as paying for all of the licenses that you install.  We did!  But they appear to have no way to enforce it.
    So far, I have only deployed 9 Lion macs in my day job, and our "solution" to the AppStore showing updates problem has been to drag the AppStore icon off of the users' docks so they don't see them!

  • How do i delete a stationery in mail that doesn't have the X

    How do i delete a stationery in mail that doesn't have the X to delete it and its beger then the rest of my other stationery

    "when I try save to PDF it just wants to save it to a file?"
    Correct. The difference between "Mail PDF" and "Save PDF" is that the first opens a new Mail message with the file attached. the second saves a file which you may attach to an email message.
    "Terrainathome is a good example of what I am trying to do."
    Not familiar with Terrainathome, but my guess is that the company is sending an email message containing HTML code that downloads what's essentially a web page into the displayed message. To do that, you'll need a website, software that will produce the necessary HTML code, and recipients with email clients capable of interpreting HTML (which is 'most email clients' these days).

  • How do I deauthorize all the computers I have synced to my apple Id when I don't have the computers any more

    How do I deauthorize all the computers I have synced to my apple Id when I don't have the computers any more all I need is to get rid of the ones synced or authorized to my account so I can authorize my new computer thank u people  :)

    If you've reached the 5 computer limit then you can log into your account and 'deauthorise all' (which you can do once every 12 months) and you can then authorise the computers that you still have and need : authorising and deauthorising.
