btw you'll need to change the ssid as well otherwise your devices aren't going to know which to connect to. Potentially they connect to the correct one and work or they connect to the one with a different password and won't connect.
If you plan on keeping the same ssid with a different password, you'll just need to change them all in one shot. or it'll be a nightmare of "which one works".
