Network Password Change

First, please bare with me. First time on here. Second, though I have many Apple products and I manage my way around them, I am not familiar with computer terms and there is a lot I don't understand. However, if something is explained clearly, step by step, I am capable of comprehending pretty fast. If any of you could find the time and LOTS of patience to help me, I would be very happy. FYI I need things explained as if I was 2.
I want to change my Network Password. The reason I want to change it is because when I launch my AirPort Utility and select my Airport Express; unfamiliar devices are present under Wireless Clients, besides my 7 Apples. My internet slowed down, things started freezing in the past few months. (been using Apple since 2009, always keep up with maintenance/upgrades, I only use my Apples for browsing, and mostly uploading pictures, my TimeCapsule does her little backup as she should... this is the first time any of my Apples have slowed down/frozen). Talked to provider, everything is good on their end. I don't download big files, the heaviest thing that I do is stream movies through AppleTV. Always worked. No problems. But in the past few months, all it ever seems to do is "Connecting to iTunes" or "Loading" or "Ready to play in 72 hours and 35 minutes". I read most of the questions/answers already on here, however, my computer (iMac, Mavericks) does NOT behave according to the examples posted. So as much as I would like to follow those suggestions, I am not able to.
...so, I select my AirPort Express, and the box that pops up give me the following info: network, IP address, LAN IP address, serial number, version and wireless clients (no idea what some of these mean and honestly if I don't need to know I don't care). Now, at this point the only option I am given is to click on "Edit".
When I do, I get a different info box. At the very top I have these: Base Station, Internet, Wireless, Network, AirPlay. Each of these contain tons of information which I don't understand. ...I just want to change my Network Password. Do I have the option to do JUST that? Without changing the AirPort Express ...something ...base um, password... I don't kn...
Please help. Thanks.

Click the Wireless tab at the top of the window
Edit out / backspace out the current password (which is displayed as dots)
Type in a new password of at least 8 characters that you want to use
Do the same thing to Verify the password
Click Update in the lower right corner of the window and wait a full minute for the AirPort Express to restart
When you log on to your wireless network, you will be asked for the "new" password that you typed in. It might be a good idea to write down that password and place it in a safe place in case you do not remember it in a few months.

Why does printer not work after network password changed?

I changed the password on my Airport Extreme (5th Gen) which is connected to an iMac,base, and now my HP Photosmart C4750 will not print. I have tried uninstalling/reinstalling the printer software using the original HP printer CD. The error message "The selected WI-Fi Network "network name" is not within the reach of the device." Do I have to change the password back in order for it to work on my wireless?
Appreciate any assistance.

Hi,
The software provided for Mountain Lion does not offer any wireless configuration, therefore it may not work well on the OS.
Connect the printer to the network through the EWS by following the steps below:
Step one: Restore the printer's network default settings
Touch the ATM button () next to Wireless / Scan .
Touch the ATM button () next to Wireless Menu
Touch the ATM button () next to Wireless Settings .
Use the up and down ATM buttons () to select Restore Network Defaults , and then press OK .
Touch the ATM button () next to Yes to confirm your selection.
Step two: create a temporary network connection with the printer to access its EWS
Click the Wi-Fi icon on your Mac.
Click on Join Other Networks.
Click on Show Networks.
Select the HPSETUP network and click on Connect
Allow 2-3 minutes to establish the connection.
Step three: Follow the Wireless Setup Wizard from teh EWS
Open Safari and click the Bookmarks icon, select Bonjour from that window
Note: if the Bonjour option is missing under the Bookmarks menu click on Safari > Preferences > Bookmarks and check the Bonjour box within the Collections section.
From Bonjour double click the C4750. the EWS appears.
Open the Networking tab.
Click on Wireless.
Click the Start Wizard button on the bottom right side of that screen and follow the steps to connect the printer to your network.
Once you are done, reconnect your Mac to your home network by following step two but selectng your home network.

WiFi password changed What to do with Time Capsule?

The WiFi password changed and the Time Capsule is not visible anymore. What can I do now? The Time Capsule is connected through a WiFi network to my MacBook.

If you are telling us that the Time Capsule was connecting to your network using wireless only before the network password changed, that would explain why the Tme Capsule is not visible....it is retaining the old settings that tell it to connect using your "old" password.
I would suggest that you change your wireless network password back to the same phrase that you used before.....so your Time Capsule will be able to connect to the network.
If you do not want to change your wireless network password back to the old phrase that you used, your only option to allow the Time Capsule to connect to the wireless network is to perform a Factory Default Reset on the Time Capsule and then configure it to connect to the wireless network using the new password.
For the configuration, you can use wireless, but an Ethernet connection from your computer to one of the LAN <-> ports on the Time Capsule is preferred. Once the Time Capsule is set up, you can disconnect the Ethernet cable.

Time Capsule - Can't change network password after 10.6.3 update

Has anyone else experience an issue changing the Time Capsule network password after updating to Snow Leopard 10.6.3? If so did you find a work around? After the update I'm no longer able to change the Time Capsule network password when accessing it from Airport Utility. The utility will say that Time Capsule has updated the network password to the new one but when I check keychain it shows the old password. I tried resolving this by deleting the original keychain then changing it again in Airport Utility but it still shows the old password in the keychain and Airport Utility when I reopen the app.

HI,
Checkthe vendor site for Snow Leopard compatibility. The developer may need to update their software.

Changing network password...There are currently no logon servers available to service the logon request in Windows 8 and 8.1 Enterprise

We currently are running Windows 7 in our enterprise environment. Everything works as expected when the user tries to
change their network password via crtl+alt+del, change a password. We are now testing and trying to deploy Windows 8.1 to a test group and are running into an issue when any AD user tries to change their network password. The user can logon to the
PC just fine when the PC is on the domain, however as soon as they go to change their password they are getting the error "There are currently no logon servers available to service the logon request". The end result is that the user can not change
their password. We tried this via connected to the dock with a network cable, on corporate wireless, with a Windows 8.1 machine completely patched over with all Microsoft patches, and a Windows 8.1 machine that is not patched and are running into the same
issue. Has anyone ran into this? Is there something that has to be changed on the infrastructure side?

Using a guest wi-fi network with changing username and password

I am trying to access a "guest user" wi-fi network at my office. For security purposes, the guest network username and password are changed periodically. The connection worked fine until the username and password changed. Is there any way to access the setup of a specific wi-fi network on the iPhone and update the user name and password? I would like to be able to do it without resetting ALL the networks used?
I tried to use "Forget Network" and then restored the connection, but it appears the iPhone retains the old username and password in memory.
Thanks!

Well, I tried to duplicate what you talked about. I have my wireless here at home, and I chose, "Forget this network" and when I went to rejoin, it asked for a password. Many public networks take their username and password through the browser. Have you tried to open Safari to see if it will default to the username/password screen? I've used mine at hotels that change their access every 24 hours and if I try to log back on after the time, it defaults back to the login screen. That is the only solution that I can think of. And yes, if you go to settings and reset network settings, it will clear all of them.

The password for wireless network was changed. Airport keeps trying to sign in automatically with old password and won't let me put in new password. Any ideas?

The password for wireless network was changed. Airport keeps trying to sign in automatically with old password and won't let me put in new password. Any ideas?

You really should change both the wireless network name and password to avoid potential conflicts with the old and new settings.
Suggest you give that a try.

Nope. Can't delete the iCloud account on my iOS devices BECAUSE the password for the account to be deleted must be entered. As I said, I already changed my Apple Store account and password. When I did that, the old user ID and old password were rendered invalid. So, one more time. How do I change or delete my iCloud account. I don't use iCloud, BUT it keeps pestering me to sign in. This is an Apple fiasco!

I recently changed my wifi password at home and now my iphone will not connect. It will not ask me for a password just says will not connect to network. Advice on how to get iphone to ask network password for wifi?

First, try tapping on the network in the Wi-Fi settings and then tap "forget this network". Then reselect the network in the main Wi-Fi settings screen and see if will then ask for a password. If not, try resetting the Network Settings in the General -> Reset section and then reconnecting to your W-iFi.
Hope this helps.

How do I reset the e-printer's web embedded server network password?

I have an HP Photosmart 7520 e-all in one. I use Windows 7. I could tried to set a password in the EWS network tab. I could not change the user name so it remains "admin". I set the passwork and it seemed ok. But when I tried to log on again, it would not let me in. How do I reset the network password?

I recommend that you run "Restore Network Defaults" from the front panel and then run the wireless setup wizard again. This will wipe out all your network settings.

Mac not recognizing AP Express after AP Extreme password change...

I have an Airport Extreme Base Station and a Airport Express as an extender. I went on Airport Utility and changed my wireless password. Since then my macbook pro is unable to recognize my Airport Express and the yellow light is flashing on the unit itself. I am still connected to the internet through the Extreme Base Station but am no longer picking up the express's signal and there is no output. Any suggestions? Very frustrating

Welcome to the discussion area.
I suggest that you temporarily, move the AirPort Express close to your computer and connect an ethernet cable from your computer to the AirPort Express to see if AirPort Utility can communicate to the Express that way.
Open AirPort Utility and click Manual Setup
Click the Wireless tab below the row of icons
You will need to enter the same wireless network password that you gave to the AirPort Extreme so the Express will be able to join the wireless network.
Click Update to save your changes and move the Express back to the desired location.

Airport Extreme WiFi password change

I want to change the network password on my Airport router. When I open Airport Utility it attempts to locate the Airport base station but never finds it. It says "no configured Airport base stations have been found...will continue searching" The Airport is working and is connected to the Internet. I have Wifi access from this Mac & mobile devices in the house.
Any ideas on what I can do to access the base station to make the password change?

Also, is your Mac connected to the AirPort Extreme/Express (either by ethernet cable or the AirPort's own wifi) or might it have gotten connected to some other wifi network (possibly associated with your ISP's modem, gateway, or router)?
