This can be quite difficult to remember, so you might want to change it to something easier to memorize instead. Read this guide to learn how to change a BT Wifi password, or contact BT.
Where can I find my BT Wifi password?
The default password to access your BT internet connection is located on your BT Hub. There will be a removable white card on the back of the Hub which has your settings information on it. Some Hubs will also have the default password printed on a label on the base of the Hub as well. Newer Smart Hubs will usually come with a couple of stickers which have the password printed on them. You can stick these somewhere more accessible so you don’t have to keep removing the card or lifting up your Hub. If you would still prefer to change the password, see below.
