HELP!
I want my mac to stop remembering the neighbors hotspot.... I changed my xfinity password and my network is still allowing connecting to 'xfinitywifi' even though in my advance settings it's not there.. and I NEED the mac to stop connecting to it... I am pretty savy with tech, but this one has me stumped!

In preferences move your network to the top of the list and delete the unwanted network from the list.
This is what it does:
NVRAM (nonvolatile random-access memory) is a small amount of memory that your Mac uses to store certain settings and access them quickly. PRAM (Parameter RAM) stores similar information, and the steps for resetting NVRAM and PRAM are the same.
Settings that can be stored in NVRAM include sound volume, display resolution, startup-disk selection, time zone, and recent kernel panic information. The settings stored in NVRAM depend on your Mac and the devices you're using with your Mac.
Just clears out any possible corrupt settings. You may have to reset the sound volume, etc.
That is exactly what I’ve already done in the preferences so if I look at all Wi-Fi connections that I have connected to our there I have removed everything including history when I’ve been to. Now if you go up to the Wi-Fi icon at the top of your screen and it shows all local connections Xfinity Wi-Fi is still showing if you click it it automatically logs in, even after I have change the password for accessing local hotspots for Xfinity that is exactly what I’ve already done in the preferences so if I look at all Wi-Fi connections that I have connected to our there I have removed everything including history when I’ve been to.

Try resetting the PRAM: How to reset NVRAM or PRAM on your Mac - Apple Support and the reset the WiFi.
If that fails, Boot into Safe Mode, Mac OS X: Starting up in Safe Mode, and try from there.
What exactly will resetting change or do to my computer?
