How do I retrieve my password for the mobile hotspot on my phone?

I have forgotten the password for the mobile hotspot on my Droid Bionic phone. How can I retrieve it or reset it?

You should be able to view it in the mobile hotspot settings. At least that's how my Nexus and Tbolt work.

Please someone help me with this - I do a lot of travelling and use my hotspot!

Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried, until the problem is resolved. Some of these steps are only possible if you have control over the wrieless router.
Step 1
Turn Wi-Fi off and back on.
Step 2
Restart the router and the computer. Many problems are solved that way.
Step 3
Change the name of the wireless network, if applicable, to eliminate any characters other than letters and digits. You do that on your router via its web page, if it's not an Apple device, or via AirPort Utility, if it is an Apple device.
Step 4
Run the Network Diagnostics assistant.
Step 5
In OS X 10.8.4 or later, run Wireless Diagnostics and fix the issues listed in the Summary, if any.
Step 6
Back up all data.
Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
Enter the name of your wireless network in the search box. You should have one or more "AirPort network password" items with that name. Make a note of the name and password, then delete all the items. Quit Keychain Access. Turn Wi-Fi off and then back on. Reconnect to the network.
Step 7
You may need to change other settings on the router. See the guidelines linked below:
Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
Potential sources of interference
Step 8
Make a note of all your settings for Wi-Fi in the Network preference pane, then delete the connection from the connection list and recreate it with the same settings. You do this by clicking the plus-sign icon below the connection list, and selecting Wi-Fi as the interface in the sheet that opens. Select Join other network from the Network Name menu, then select your network. Enter the password when prompted and save it in the keychain.
Step 9
Reset the System Management Controller (SMC).

Mobile Hotspot issue.

So I was helping a friend with a PC problem and discovered that when my hotspot is turned on if accessed threw a desktop or laptop there is no prompt for the password. There is a prompt if a mobile device tries to access but not with PC's or laptops. I have tested on multiple computers and cell phones and get the same results everytime. I have checked my settings and my hotspot has a password. I have done the simple stuff like re-start the phone, change the password, wipe the device but no change. What could be the reason for this? Any help would be greatly apprecieated.

I will test this for you on my laptop.... I know my mobile hotspot requires a password but I have not tested with a laptop or PC.

Cannot connect to mobile hotspot using wpa; only open security works

I have a Galaxy S5 and am trying to connect to the mobile hotspot using my Surface tablet. If I have the mobile hotspot setup using WPA2 security with a password I cannot connect however I can connect if I am using Open security.
I can connect the surface to other routers using WPA security, just not the Samsung as a mobile hotspot.
does anyone have any suggestions?

What you have proved here is that your tablet has a password conflict somewhere. You should find out where your wireless profiles are being stored on that device, wipe them out and then try connecting again. Once you provide the tablet with all of the correct connection credentials and configurations it should connect just fine.
Connecting without a password proves there is not a WiFi issue. Connecting to other devices is additional proof that there is not a WiFi issue going on. You just need to straighten out the security issue and then will be good to go.

If I use my BIONIC as a mobile hotspot, should I worry about malware/viruses?

The imac 24 can't be used as a monitor over a DVI connection or the like, Suzanne, but you may be able to achieve what you want to using "Screen Sharing" by networking the two computers. This lets your MBP effectively control what is running on the iMac.
See HERE for the basic setup. For information about how to access the "shareable" screen from the MBP see HERE.
One possible problem may be actually getting this set-up on the iMac if it is not already enabled, however, unless you can borrow a keyboard from someone (your password may have to be entered to enable it). You may be able to get around this, if necessary, using the "keyboard viewer" (which you can place in the menubar using System preferences > Keyboard, if you don't already have it there).

Mobile hotspot. Losing 3g data droid x2

I am soooo irritated with my 3g network connection dropping randomly. I decided to get the mobile hotspots so I could use it on my laptop. It works find for five minutes or so. Then my 3g icon disappears then comes back on. The pages on my internet hang..I then have to tether using USB and it sometimes works again then eventually stops.
Here is what I have done to try and resolve the issue.
1. Rename the ssid name and password. Restart the computer and it sometimes works. Usually ended up saying no internet connection or limited connection.
2. *228 sometimes fixes the issue for five minutes then its back to the issues.
3. Settings --Battery & Data Manager--Data delivery-- all top three boxes checked. Worked the first time.
4. Uninstalled all applications. Didn't help.
5. Factory reset phone. Didn't help. Same issues.
6. Finally took my phone back to best buy and exchanged it for another one. I though for sure this would fix it. It had to. According to Verizon technical support the phone had to be defective. Guess what ..same **bleep** issue.
7. I was told then that the problem was for sure the latest update. He told me they were sending out another update to fix this issue. He said I would be getting the update soon. I took off the hotspots feature cause I wasn't going to pay for services I don't use.
8. Today I finally got the update for my phone. I immediately called Verizon and I had them give me the hotspot back.
9. After five minutes....I had no more 3g/ internet. Same **bleep** problem.....
Does anyone have any ideas? Please help me...

I have a HTC Thunderbolt and my hotspot keeps dropping Data connectivity.. I also pay 29.99 a month for a service that i can't use like advertise. I have also called Verizon, gone into a Verizon store, even switched phones back when I was under the return policy days. I have been told they dont know why I keep loosing data connection. I also am on old grand fathered customer and have unlimited data plan... So I am paynig twice to use the internet on my laptop.
I even have tried to use a USB cord to connect my Thunderbolt to my ACER laptop and I instantly loose my 3G service and will not come back. I keep getting a message that a program called BOOTSTRAP.EXE wants to run on laptop when I plug my phone it to it.. Its really funny how Verizon can't tell me why this keeps poping up.. They even switched me to HTC telling me that its an HTC program wanting to run. HTC then tells me that its nothing on the HTC phone that its Verizon.. Kidding me??? Verizon cant even owen up to this either. I have read forums and the BOOTSTRAP.EXE has something to do with the Verizon VCAST program on your phone.. I have to unplug my phone and shut it off and then back on to get 3g back and sometimes that does not work.. I can't believe Verizon can not own up to this porblem and tell their customers we are aware of this porblem and working on it.
I think its time I give my Lawyer a call and see if there is anything they can do for me. Maybe false advertisement or even breaking the contract of providing reliable service to the customer. Verizon is advertising Hotspot like there is no issues with it. But we the customers, that have it and have been calling and <word filter> about this from day one they started this service know there is an issue with it.. I dont think its right they get away with this!!!. Maybe a class action suit is in order?!?!?!?!?!?!

Enable mobile hotspot. How do I connect iPad?

I enabled mobile hotspot on my Motorola Droid and my iPad sees it but there is no place to put the password in. I just set up the mobile hotspot on the phone. I didn't pay any extra to Verizon. I have the family share plan. So will this work? Any help would be appreciated!

Hey there debijr!
I hope you had a good holiday! I am here to help with your hotspot. So let me clarify, you turned on the hotspot on you Razr, but you do not see a place for the password on the iPad? Correct? If so, you may want to take a look at the settings (depending on which Droid, it may just be under the mobile hotspot and press the MENU button) and see what type of security you have. If it is OPEN, no password is required, however, is it's security enabled, there would be a field for the password.
Secondly, which family share plan are you on? Is this Nationwide? If so, there is an extra feature needed for the hotspot. However, with the new Share Everything plans, this is included at no extra charge.
Let us know if this helps or if you need anything additional in help.
Thanks!

Cannot connect Nexus 7 to Rezound mobile hotspot

Hello,
I switch to VZW Share Everything which includes the Mobile Hotspot. I cannot get my Nexus 7 to connect to the mobile hotspot. I keep getting the message that there is no Internet. The hotspot turns on fine on the Rezound. I can get it working with some difficulty while at home but when Ieave home I have the problem. My N7 shows it's secured to the VZW hotspot network with WPA2. I've tried inputting my cell phone number as the password and then it hangs on Obtaining IP Address. What am I doing wrong???????????
Thank you,
Deb

I am using an <deleted> rezound and it is on the most current software using a a tiered data plan.
It makes every effort to connect but when attempting to get an ip address, if fails...
anyone get an answer yet?

Galaxy s4 use as mobile hotspot...?

I may have poor vision, but I can't see a search link on this forum.I am trying to configure the s4 for mobil hotspot. I created a password as requested. I got an error message to the effect that I need a subscription to Verizon mobil hotspot or some such. I was under the impression that I could just use this as a hotspot.

The Search bar is on the home page of the community forum and the top right corner of the site.
Which data plan do you have? Nationwide Plan with unlimited data? Nationwide Plan with tiered data? Share Everything Plan?

Connecting c309a to a wireless network, the printer does not find my mobile hotspot connection.

I switched to a mobile hotspot w/verizon. I had set up my computers (2) just fine the first time. I had to exchange the hotspot. I was told by my computer to insert a flashdrive and transfer my network settings to the printer and other computer. After inserting the flashdrive into my photosmart c309a printer, it flashed "turn off and on" I did, then the printer had lost the network settings menu altogether! I took it to bestbuy to be looked over and was told they were able to get my network menu back but it was still unable to register a wireless connection?? I'm not sure what to do now?

Sometimes DSL providers have more control over the router than the printer likes. There is what I believe to be a similar situation here in the states with ATT 2Wire routers. This is a cut and paste from instructions on how to fix that. Try it and see if it works.
- Unplug the telephone line from the router
- Turn the power off on the router, wait 30 seconds, then turn the power back on.
- Go through the normal process of connecting the printer to the device.
- Now find the IP address of the printer (it should be on the self-test printout), type it into a browser.
- In screen you will find a Networking Tab, then on the left Wireless, then the IPv4 Tab.
- On this screen you want to set a Manual IP. You need to set an IP address outside the range that the router automatically sets (called the DHCP range). If you know what that is, set an IP outside that range but no higher than 255 (the last number in the address).
- Use 255.255.255.0 for the subnet (unless you know it is different, if so, use that)
- Use the router's IP address for the gateway and the first DNS (leave the second blank).
- Finally, plug in the phone line and test.

Samsung LTE Mobile Hotspot PRO USB cable connection to Mac

I am trying to connect a Samsung LTE Mobile Hotspot PRO via USB cable to my Macbook and iMac. I can see it in the System Information, but it does not show up in the Devices in Finder. Is there a driver that I need? Does it exist (yet)?

So I was able to get USB tethering to work, but I still can't connect to the hotspot as a media device (and view what is on my microSD card and/or the device).
Here's how I got USB tethering to work: I plugged into my laptop running Linux, where both USB tethering and mounting as a media device work fine, found the Mac OS driver on the device, copied it over to my Macbook, installed, rebooted, wirelessly connected to the hotspot, configured for USB tethering, went to Open Network Preferences..., connected to "SAMSUNG Mobile Device". I did all this after talking to Samsung on the phone, where they told me the driver does not exist yet....
