Air play password

I can’t get the movie I’m watching on my iPad up onto the tv using Apple TV. The screen sharing asks for a password for air play and I don’t have one. ??

iPad Pro, iOS 12

Airplay code My 4K Apple TV is connected to my home theatre system. The receiver is set up so that Apple TV is one of the inputs. With this setup I easily stream movies from any of the Apple TV apps (Netflix, Amazon, Apple etc). But when I try to send music from my iPad to the system, I'm asked for an "airplay code." I don't know what this is, I don't recall ever creating such a code. I found the following here: "See if the TV configuration allows for AirPlay settings, including allowing access with password. Or add the TV to the Home in the Home app on an iPhone or iPad. Then configure it for a password, or configure it to not need a password. If your AirPlay sending device is managed (MDM) (e.g. from an employer) then it may be set to only stream to other managed devices with a password." So I opened "Home" on the iPad and selected the name of my home theatre under "rooms." I was asked for an airplay code. I then went looking for how to "configure it for a password..." mentioned above. I can't find anything like that in the Home app. I'm pretty frustrated and ready to throw my iPad at my TV screen. :-( Can anyone suggest what I'm doing wrong? Thanks for your help.

The AirPlay settings on Apple TV may have been set to require a password. You can look up the password there.
