Are you desperately trying to connect to your GoPro’s WiFi network to check your images or stream the live stream from your camera? I think almost everyone who has a GoPro has experienced the inconvenience of forgetting their WiFi password to connect to the GoPro application.
Normally, it is a quick reset and you are ready to go. But this time, there was a lot of teeth grinding because the update and reset process did not work smoothly. Look for the locking tab of a microSD to SD card adapter – see below!
Given the pain and suffering we thought we would find a quick way to update your WiFi GoPro Hero camera password without going through the entire firmware update process.

Set the name and password of the GoPro camera.
You should see two files on your SD card: “settings.in” and “update.11.txt” in the UPDATE folder (HERO3+) or the root folder (Hero3). If not, it seems you’ve made a mistake somewhere, so check the steps in the section above.
- Open settings.in in a text editor. In Windows, simply right-click and select “Open with”, then select Notepad or similar.
- Modify the ssid field of “GoProHero3” so that your camera is called as you wish.
Change the password field from “Password” to a new password.
For example:
“ssid”: “MyGoProCamera”, “Password”: “newpassword”}.
- Tap Save. Do not press Enter or enter any unnecessary characters other than the above changes.
- Insert the SD card back into the camera and the update will continue with your new settings.
