Access point password required

I have had to change my laptop that was running my Workbee but the new one is asking for an Access Point Password.

Is there a default password?

Do I need to connect via USB and YAT to set it up again?

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

Hi Anthony,

The default password is 00000000

If that does not work and you need to set it up again, here are the instructions:

Can you connect via USB following this guide:
- 1. Connecting your Controller via USB - Windows
  (Mac Version: 1. Connecting your Controller via USB - MacOS)

Once connected, send the following commands in YAT:
- M552 S0
- M589 S"WorkBee" P"00000000" I10.10.10.10
(If you get an error like the network already exists that is ok, proceed to the next step)
- M552 S2
- On your computer, look at the available Wifi networks
- Connect to the one called 'WorkBee' and use password: 00000000
- In your Web Browser go to the IP Address 10.10.10.10
- To make this change permanent go to Files > System
- Open config-network.g
- Change the following section:

; Configure Connection - ENABLE ONLY ONE OF THE BELOW THREE
M552 S1 ; Enable Wifi Network
;M552 S2 ; Enable Access Point Mode
;M552 S1 P192.168.251.2 ; Enable Ethernet - Change IP Address to suit
