I presume you mean you've changed your router's admin pwd. Login to your MBB router at http://192.168.1.1 with this admin password & look under the Wireless Settings tab. There you should be able to see your WiFi pwd in clear & change it.

I have the same problem. The solution doesn't work because the original key (password) is deemed incorrect. It is correct because I use it to connect to the box. What's the solution? Thanks.

What is the answer? I have the same issue as I wish to change my password to someting I can remember.

@Carlo60 : Factory reset the router & the WiFi pwd will return to its default.

 

How do you mean by a correct pwd is deemed incorrect? By what?

Well, @Carlo60 , which is it to be? A mobile router or a Home BB router? You've posted to both.
