Are you desperately trying to connect to your GoPro’s WiFi network to check your images or stream the live stream from your camera? I think almost everyone who has a GoPro has experienced the inconvenience of forgetting their WiFi password to connect to the GoPro application.
Normally, it is a quick reset and you are ready to go. But this time, there was a lot of teeth grinding because the update and reset process did not work smoothly. Look for the locking tab of a microSD to SD card adapter – see below!
Given the pain and suffering we thought we would find a quick way to update your WiFi GoPro Hero camera password without going through the entire firmware update process.
