How to do it

   Open Settings > Wi-Fi.

2. 02

   Tap the i next to the network that is misbehaving.

3. 03

   Tap Forget This Network and confirm.

4. 04

This does not change the password on the router. If other devices still connect, the password you type should be the one they are using. If nothing connects, the router is the problem, not the phone.
