Windows 10: An Unaceptable Network Security Key. Try AGain

I decided to tell you about the solution to a small problem I encountered the other day. I was installing Windows 10 on an ASUS laptop. Everything installed fine, the system booted up, and I decided to connect it to my Wi-Fi network. To put the necessary programs, configure everything, etc.

I open the list of available networks, select my Wi-Fi network, enter the password and get an error “Invalid network security key. Try again.” I don’t get it. I enter my Wi-Fi password again, click “Next” and again I get this error in yellow text, “Invalid security key.

I checked the keyboard layout. It’s “ENG”. Checked if Caps Lock is on. Caps Lock is not on. I specify the password and again the error. I took a picture:

Invalid network security key. Try again

But I know I’m entering the password correctly. It’s a simple password. 8 numbers and one letter. I enter it almost every day. And now Windows 10 refuses to accept the password from the Wi-Fi network. The password doesn’t work, even though I’m sure I’m entering it correctly.

If Windows 10 doesn’t accept the wi-fi password.

Without thinking for a long time I open notepad (you can find it through search) and write the password from my Wi-Fi network in it. Then I copy the password from the notepad into the password input line when connecting to the wireless network.

Windows 10 Wi-Fi password does not work

And everything is connected. No more “Invalid network security key. Try again” I didn’t see it! Here is the solution.

If the above method didn’t work for you, then most likely you are indeed entering the wrong password. Check your keyboard layout and Caps Lock again.

You can also try simply rebooting your laptop. See if it will connect to another Wi-Fi network.

If you managed to solve this problem in a different way, or you have any useful information on this topic, then share it in the comments. Myself and the visitors of wifiwiki.net will be very grateful to you 🙂 🙂 I’m sure you’ll find it helpful.
