In a previous blog post, I wrote about the advantages of tethering (personal hotspot) with my iPhone and scenarios of use, of which there are many. Approximately a month ago, I was working with some out-of-state attorneys in a location that did not have WiFi available. I immediately let them know that I could provide them Internet access and they were very appreciative.
I advised them to locate the wireless network named “Lynette’s iPhone.” That’s the name that was assigned to my iPhone at the time. They easily located it. Next, they needed a password. Apple automatically generates a password on each device. I proceeded to tell them the password was “Muffin673″ or something similar. The response I received was hilarious! Did I mention these were male attorneys I was working with? Anyway, they gave me a bit of a hard time about my password — they felt it was quite feminine. It never occurred to me that I could change my password to one of my choosing. After the deposition was over, of course I did a little research and found out how to change my password. Below is a tutorial on how you may change your password on the iPhone when using your personal hotspot.
- Go to Settings and click on it.
- Then at the top of the screen, select the Personal Hotspot menu.
- Next click on the Wi-Fi Password menu and type in your new password.
