I've changed the Wifi network password at home. Tried to reconnect the network, Samsung S24 Ultra says wrong password, but, doesn't give you the option to forget the network to reset or reconnect t or delete. Now I'm stuck. I had to change the WIFI password back to the old unable to connect. But, really need to change it. 

Reset router doesn't do it either.

Anyone?

Go to Settings >Connections >Wi-Fi. Select the gear icon to the right of the AP you're connected to. At the bottom right should be the Forget button.

Also, from the Wi-Fi screen, select the 3 dots on the top right corner, then Advanced settings and Manage networks. Select the network/AP you want to delete and forget at the bottom. Don't hit the delete button because it will delete the network you're currently connected to.

1. Setting > connection>WIFI method doesn't work as the Forget option is missing. That was the whole point of this posting. I'll post a screenshot.

2. The 3 dot /Advanced setting dies not show the problem WIFI network, thus, I can't delete it. And thus, can't forget it , either...

That ka for the reply.1757625636098.jpg

You can reset ONLY the network settings, and that would clear all known networks on the phone.

@user6MFfwILPO7 If you can connect with your old password, then the new password was never active on the router. 

Also make sure that you are selecting the correct type of security when you are entering the new password.

Thanks for the reply.

I changed back to the old password just to try the connection. And it works. But, as soon as I changed to the new password, that where S24 ultra would not give me the Forget option , not a chance to delete the old WIFI network.

Are you using the same network name? If so and you change the password and successfully join the network then you won't want to forget the network.

When you forget the network, it is forgetting the network name and password.

Thanks for the reply.

The point is that the Forget option doesn't present itself. As I want to use it. All other devices on the same network all recognize the password change and ask for the new password to be input. Apple, Windows devices, Other Android devices, all the smart devices, only S24 ultra won't.
