Help. I Know Our Office Wi-fi Password, But I Can't Use It by Nobody: 12:35pm On Jun 11, 2016
Seems this IT guy in my office has started using charm. grin

Dude has changed all the passwords of the WiFi in our office.
The thing is now something else. One can see the password, but one can't use it on another device unless he put it for you.

Please anyone with info on how to go about this?

You don't really know the password or you haven't configured your browser settings with the ip....

I know the password.

Let me break it down.

The password for one WiFi was clearly shown as

.destiny247.


But it won't work on any other system unless the IT guy himself put it for you. I think is about settings which I don't know

It is most likely possible that there is a setting settings you're not getting right OR, there is a hidden character in the password e.g ( space , /, ' etc)

Lol. ..you can't do anything about it because he uses Mac address to filter those who can use the network.. Every device on this earth has a unique Mac address which is burnt into the device. .so only the Mac address the administrator wants can have access to the network.

It's called access control. He simply wants to monitor usage and who is downloading porn (query or sack letter awaits). He is simply performing a role, in his job description.
