If asking for a password, then you must be using Wi-Fi direct.

Wi-Fi Direct is explained on page 28 of the User Manual, this Wi-Fi setup avoids configuring the router.

Get a network status report to obtain the Wi-Fi direct password.

 

Here is a video showing how to do the Wi-Fi direct

Wi-Fi Direct can be used to avoid configuring the router. Watch this: 6xxx

 

page 5 shows how to turn Wi-Fi direct on or off and page 7 shows getting Wi-Fi information.,
