Well juaniemme , what i think you are refering to as your APN may be the already configured settings sent to you by your service provider. Som service providers hav blocked access to make changes to this APN and will require you to com to their offices for manual configuration. Now most service providers have two APNs they use..one usually WAP is for light browsing on your mobile device and this somtimes has lots of settings to configure..the other APN is for use by your mobile device as a modem in whic case you want to use as hotspot..this APN configuration is usually simple...there is a way to get out of your problem if only u are sure of getting your settings again 4rm ur service provider you can go ahead and delet it..and manually configure..provided u know the apn to use...jus go to settings-general-network-cellular data network-..now scroll down to internet tethering and enter ur APN ther..that is wher your hotspot becomes active wait a while b4 it comes up
