Share your internet connection from your iPhone with Personal Hotspot - Apple Support
❝Enter the password you set up for your Personal Hotspot to connect. If you’re connecting another Apple device and you’re signed in to the same Apple Account on both devices, you don’t need to enter a password.❞
If the Mac won't connect with your iPhone hotspot, reboot both devices and try again.
Find the hotspot password in the Passwords app. Launch that and then click the wi-fi group tab. You should find the password there. You can "Forget" (delete) the current password and that will prompt you to sign in again with a new password the next time you wish to use the hotspot.

The last paragraph should have been the first one. Before the answer was posted, I found the password app and "forgot" my iPhone, then went to wifi, and hotspot popped up and worked.

Yeah, I get a little involved in providing reference links sometimes.
Happy to hear you got it sorted out.
Thanks for the update.
