Thank you for the screenshot.


Recovering Passwords:

Have a Mac or a PC connected to this WiFi network? IF so, view the password on that, and it should popup (with the Admin password).

Set this iPhone Up Anew:

Apparently, you cannot enter a password (top-right-corner of your screen). So, as a last restore, you would be to set this up anew as if you were to sell it. Then, log in, configuring it all again. Perform as instructed here: What to do Before you Sell, Give Away, or Trade in your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support


Important:

Backup First: Be certain you backup your iPhone first. That way, you will have something to restore your iPhone from should anything go wrong with the restore. If you never created one, then take this as a learning experience, to get back up every so often.

Thank you for the followup reply.


Contacting Back to this Network:

It would seems to me that you (or whomever's network this is) is not broadcasting the SSID (the name of the network). So, do you remember the name of the network, and the password? If so, enter mannualy to access and log in to the network. If this is not your network, then contact the Network Administrator for assistance. You might alway want to power off your router for 30 seconds, snd then power it back on, as a way to refresh the broadcast.

:( You don’t know my issue. The wifi “sapa massage green” not near me and I don’t want to access the “sapa massage green”. For example: I want to connect to a wifi name “abc” via control center, when I choose “abc”, the phone navigate to the wifi name “sapa massage green” to input password (that not near me, and I forgot that in the pass)
