The Problem

So you've just changed your MIT Kerberos password and suddenly you realize MIT Secure is no longer connecting! What's happening?

As it turns out, the WiFi settings for both Macs and Windows remembers only the old password and is trying to use that to connect you to MIT Secure. But since you've changed your Kerberos password, of course it won't let you in.

What to do

  1. Remove the "MIT Secure" WiFi Network from your Network settings.

    2. On a Windows 10 machine: https://www.howtogeek.com/246104/how-to-delete-a-saved-wi-fi-network-on-windows-10/
    3. On a Windows 8 machine: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows8_1-networking/delete-wireless-network-profiles-in-windows-81/58e024ee-cd3b-4f6d-ada0-806ee2990637

  2. Connect to MIT Secure Wireless. It should now ask you for your Kerberos username and password again.

  3. That's it!
