I am trying to use airplay on a new LG TV which I have used the AirPlay before but now when I try to connect showing the device, I wanna communicate with it request an AirPlay password. I have not familiar with an AirPlay password. Where is it set up? Where can it be reset? And is it a static password that you could let me know thank you.

The AirPlay receiving device (your smart TV in this case) may optionally have a password requirement. This may help prevent unauthorized use of streaming to your TV accidentally or intentionally. This would be remembered per device, until you change or reset this setting.
The default initial setting may be an obscured unknown password (••••••), to prevent accidental AirPlay attempts for owners that don’t want AirPlay. To configure a password that you would know, go to the Apple AirPlay Settings (or: AirPlay and HomeKit Settings) on your TV, where you can generate a password, set a manual custom password, or disable the password requirement. (Without password requirement, an initial pairing code would be used instead, to be manually copied from TV screen to sending device.)
