This is related to ESP8266 12E
I am now unable to change the ssid and password from the values I set during the initial flash to ESP8266 12E. Please advice to change the password and SSID using Arduino IDE
Thanks in advance
Show your code.
'initial flash' doesn't mean anything if you're using the Arduino IDE. It's all one step as an upload.
Change in sketch and upload again? Oh, not what you want?
Read new SSID/password from serial port and use strcpy to copy? Oh, also not what you want?
Enter SSID and password on LCD using keypad; hmm, also not what you want?
Please be clear in your requirements and show your code (either the current code or a short example based on your current code; not a snippet).
Dear INTP
This is the codes I uploaded
char ssid[] = "yourNetwork"; // your network SSID (name)
char pass[] = "secretPassword";
Hear I not mention actual ssid and password

So what's your problem? Aside from failing miserably at knowing how to ask for help by giving details.
Are you using just the ESP8266, or are you using it connected to an Arduino?
If just the ESP8266, you're using the wrong example sketch, try navigating to the examples under ESP8266Wifi in the IDE.
Really I need is to change the SSID of my ESP8266
Please advice

My crystal ball says the function Sdeeasgqa() needs some work.
Is there something about POST ALL OF YOUR CODE that you think does not apply to you? Well, get over it it. It DOES apply to you.

Hi there, I know the question has been here for like 2 years ago but I just want to post the coding to change the ssid (&password) for nodemcu ESP8266, in case there're students in need of the answers.
Below is the coding. just copy & paste in your Arduino IDE.
MAKE SURE your SSID is between 1-32 char & your password must be AT LEAST 8 character.
eg : SSID : deb-lollerz
: password : 1234567890 (more than 8 character)
Hope it helps! 
#include <SPI.h>
#include <WiFi.h>
char ssid[] = "Debs"; // your network SSID (name)
char pass[] = "12345"; // your network password (use for WPA, or use as key for WEP)
int keyIndex = 0; // your network key Index number (needed only for WEP)
int status = WL_IDLE_STATUS;
// if you don't want to use DNS (and reduce your sketch size)

This might help you
I use quite a number of forums and am disappointed by the mean/snarky responses to this questioner.
I believe the question is how can the SSID of the hiletgo esp8266 nodemcu esp-12e be changed. I just purchased it and got it connected to my router. But it shows up with SSID FaryLink_3CB641.
i want to change the name of it's SSID AND hide it.
Searching on how to make that change is only netting me hits on how to change which SSID the device connects to OR I'm misunderstanding the answers. So apologize if that's the case.
Thank you.
Baggie
You will get the same rude answers if you don't act according to
the forum rules https://forum.arduino.cc/index.php/topic,148850.0.html.
If this happens, it is YOUR problem.
This forum works as easy as that:
- Open your own thread,
- post your code,
- post clickable links to your product,
- state your problem
- ask your question.
Questions end with a question mark.
I think this is what you're looking for ...
Use the library WiFiManager ...
// GitHub - tzapu/WiFiManager: ESP8266 WiFi Connection manager with web captive portal
#include <WiFiManager.h>
wifiManager.autoConnect("WhateverAPNameYouWant");
That all. This will name your ESP8266 AP SSID to "WhateverAPNameYouWant".
Hope this is what you're looking for and it helps.
Help me change my password of esp8266
I just wanted to control LEDs.
It asks me to enter password I enter but still not connected. This is my first test on esp8266 I do not know which characters below represent my password I downloaded this sketch from web. I have tested my esp worked good with AT commands.
Suggest some fix.
