cannot connect password not accepted

Glad to hear you got it working! If you mark it solved, it might help the next person with this issue
What router are you connecting to?
What extender is it? You didn't put your model.
What firmware is on the extender?
Try factory resetting the extender and then reinstalling it using the installation assistant and NOT WPS.
WPS can get coded different between manufacturers and cause issues.
The extender (if factory reset) shoudl't require a password to connect to it for the initiall connection/setup.
