Nothing I try works! I’ve entered both WiFi and Mac password. Watched so many videos and read so many articles. It’s been 24 hrs. Can someone please help!
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 12.2
WPA2 password is the password needed to connect with the Network provided by your wireless Router, to get onto your home network. "The Wi-Fi password"
are you certain you are attempting to connect to your own network, and not a neighbor's network?

Delete the Wi-Fi network in macOS Settings. Delete all add-on VPN clients. Restart the Wi-Fi router. While you're logged into the Wi-Fi router to reset the password there, also check the Wi-Fi router firmware version and update that to current, and also check which WPA2 mode is configured on the Wi-Fi router. Usual choice would be WPA2 AES PSK pre-shared key, but WPA2 enterprise is also possible and is also probably not what you want. Then after restarting the Mac (directly or into Safe Mode as suggested above), re-add the Wi-Fi network there.

There's no reason for any local app or tool to be looking for the Wi-Fi router password, unless the tool itself is specifically for remote management of the Wi-Fi router itself.
I am aware but I am entering the WiFi password and it won’t work

have you tried in Safe Mode, and very close to (like across the room from) the Router?
