Today was one of those weird days. All of a sudden my Windows 10 notebook computer wouldn't connection to my Android mobile phone which I use as a hotspot. Performed all the usual diagnostics on the computer but nothing seem to work.
I then tried to connected a spare Android mobile I had to the hotspot and had the same trouble. Reset the Android wireless settings but still no luck.
What I then decided to do was to change the hotspot's password and change it back again to the original password. Viola! Everything started to work as normal and the devices I had recognised the password and connected automatically.
At best guess I suspect the password for the hotspot for some unknown reason had become corrupt. So when all else fails, don't forget to try changing the password on the hotspot. Changing it back to the previous password means all the devices you have connecting won't need to be changed as well.
