GoPro HERO 3: Changing your WiFi Password

Unfortunately, GoPro only allows you to change your camera WiFi name and WiFi password when you update your camera's software (method 1). Now this can be quite annoying especially if you're not planning to update your software or if it's already up-to-date. However there are a few simple steps you can take to change your password just by re-updating your GoPro HERO 3 (method 2).

METHOD 2: 

"My camera's software is already up-to-date but I still want to change my WiFi password."
 

 If your camera's software is already up-to-date, but you wish to change the camera's name and password, you'll need to re-update your software.  To re-update your camera's software, you'll first need to disable Java in your web browser. 

Here's how to disable Java:

1. In your preferred browser go to settings/tools.
2. Locate the plugin folder
3. Find the Java plugin and disable it

After having disabled Java just follow the steps in METHOD 1 and you should be good to go ;)
