Detailed explanation-2: -You can change your Wi-Fi password and access in your router’s configuration page in an internet browser. When you buy a new router, you should change its password and name to keep it secure. If you forgot your Wi-Fi password, you can connect to the router with an ethernet cable or reset it.
