Cannot connect Apple TV 4K to IPhone Hotspot

I have attempted to connect my 4K Apple TV to the hotspot on my IPhone. Every time I try to connect I get an error message “Incorrect password for “Cary Grant’s iPhone.” I know I am entering the correct password. I am able to airplay through Bluetooth but cannot connect to the hotspot. Would appreciate any help or direction.

Apple TV 4K, tvOS 12

It requires the password as set for the hotspot, which is unrelated to any account password or device password/passcode.

See on your phone:

Settings﹥Personal Hotspot﹥Personal Hotspot﹥On|Off

Settings﹥Personal Hotspot﹥Wi-Fi Password﹥Password﹥[view, enter or change]
