My mac won’t accept my password

I can’t log into the wifi on my mac because it says it needs a WPA2 password. I know my network name & password are correct, they work on every other device, but it still won’t connect.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.13

Restart the Device:

Try restarting the Mac, and then perform another login.


C. Reset your SMC and your NVRAM:

(Applies to Intel-Based Only Macs): Sometimes changes (i.e. formats) are made to the system and then settings (i.e. keyboard) become corrupted, technically. So, reset both on your Mac. So, reset the SMC and reset the NVRAMor PRAM. Then, try connecting once more. It might take three tries. to fix this. So, be certain you have the time to do so.
