I purchased a refurbed laptop from Amazon. I am not able to login to my WiFI as I keep getting bad password message when I try to login. Pretty challenging as I cannot get beyond the setup screen so no way to download a fix etc. Can you pls assist?

Your request would be violating Rule 4.d.

Lost passwords are an area we do not go into.

 

 

Rules

To ensure a safe and productive community, we ask that you observe these rules:

1. Be respectful. Respect your fellow users by keeping your tone positive and your comments constructive. Good or bad, your experiences are always welcome as long as they are offered in a courteous way. Respect people's time and attention by providing complete information about your question or problem, including product name and model number. People like helping those who ask good questions.

2. Be relevant. Make sure your contributions are relevant to this community and to the specific category or board where you post. If you have a new question, start a new thread rather than interrupting a conversation. Solicitations inviting members to join, participate in, or buy something are never relevant.

3. Obey the law and keep your word. Don't post anything that would violate any law, or any contractual agreement that you have made.

4. Protect privacy - yours and others'.

a. Don't share anything about yourself that you would not want to see on a road-side billboard.

b. Don't post contact or other personal information-your own or anyone else's-or any content that you receive in one-to-one communications without the author's consent. For example, don’t post your computer’s serial # or contact information publicly

c. Do not allow someone you don’t know to remotely take control of your computer.

d. No posts shall include instructions or directions intended to bypass or subvert security measures, including passwords, locking mechanisms, fingerprint scans, etc., or to bypass any safety measures.

 Enrico - I am confused, my request is not for a lost password or recovering a password. This is a refurbished HP Chromebook purchased from Amazon, which has been wiped clean. Important clarification - I am trying to log into my home Wi-Fi and getting the bad password error message in the Wi-Fi login screen. Can you pls assist me with this?

A bad password error message is security related.

 

We are prohibited from helping with threads of that nature as the rules of forum participation specify.
