rouuterlogin worked. Thank you very much for your help. It was super twisted between the router password and the wifi password. All is worked out.

Not sure what to do. I am on my phone trying to make this change and the phone is connected to the WiFi with old login. So there is a connection.
If you have a computer you can connect to your router via an Ethernet connection, you can change the Wi-Fi password from the user interface.
A mobile device option is to disconnect from the router Wi-Fi, through your cell connection access the router via Anywhere Access. You should be able to change the Wi-Fi password from there.
What is the model number of your router?
A third option is the full firmware default reset from the recessed button on the back of the device. This will reset your Wi-Fi SSIDs and password to those printed on the label on the back of the device and all of your other settings as well.
