Until you know the Wi-Fi password—and nobody here knows that, and nobody here can look up that password for you—you can't back up using the Wi-Fi network.


Contact the folks that configured your Wi-Fi network.


if you installed the Wi-Fi network, you purchased the Wi-Fi router box and you established the password. If you've forgotten, you'll have to find that password elsewhere, or reset your Wi-Fi network to clear the password.


If your internet service provider set up the Wi-Fi router box for you, check with them for the password.

You would want to ask whoever is maintaining the Wi-Fi network for the Wi-Fi network name and password.


If you have another computer with access such as a Mac, you might be able to look up the password there.


If this is your network and you’ve forgotten the Wi-Fi password, the password reset options vary by vendor and model.


If you wish to discuss resetting the Wi-Fi network, we’ll need ro know the vendor and model of the Wi-Fi router.
