Question

What if the password is not admin?

Community Answer

"Admin" is traditionally the password used by programmers for a beta test or a password that has to be changed. Unfortunately, they may use whatever else they want, or somebody else may have changed the password. Read the manual to find the default password or how to reset it.

You can usually find a little brochure, card, etc. in your room that has the WiFi password on it. If not, call or stop by the front desk and ask the clerk.

Community Answer

Turn your WiFi button on and off for 30 seconds. Do the same with airplane mode, then turn off your phone, wait a minute or two and turn it on and it should work again. If not, repeat the turning off and on WiFi and airplane mode method.
