So, years ago I did have an Apple TV. I no longer have that device. I now have a Sonos device I want to play my music and such…I cannot. It asked for the airplay password and all the searching I have done only shows the method to reset it is on an Apple TV device. I don’t have one or have access to one…how do you reset that password without an AppleTV?
iPhone 15 Pro Max, iOS 17
I used to think that any password for AirPlay would be set on the receiving device. Maybe it is different for non-screen devices.
Try this: Home app on iPhone: (⋯)﹥Home Settings﹥Speakers & TV﹥Require password﹥On|Off. Either disable the requirement, or read the current password there. (Let us know if that works for you.)
This Sonos support article also assumes an Apple TV box or AirPlay-enabled smart TV or third party streaming device may be part the issue, with the suggestion to turn off password requirement there. Stream AirPlay audio to Sonos - Sonos Support
If the issue persists and you get nowhere with Sonos Support, then contact the Apple Support staff for their insights. Their knowledge on Sonos equipment and settings specifically may be limited though.
