Wifi password

[Dick60]

After finishing flashing my ESP (several models) with the latest firmware release (but also previous firmware versions),using the ESP.Easy.Flasher.exe opened as admin, I want to connect to the ESPWIFI network to config it. I get a WIFI security message that I must add a password (which password). In the past that was not the case and could connect to the ESPwifi without password, so I tested firmware v120, same problem. Does this something to do with Win10?
Hope you have an answere because it is impossible to ad new firmware.

espconfig

espconfig

Are you sure? I thought it was "configesp"
But I never type it in, as my wifi credentials are stored for "new" node on all my devices.

You're right!

Sorry but did not work for me. Still get the message "wrong password". Tried a 2nd NodeMCU but same result. Found a temporay solution, I loaded a Dec2018 version and was able to connect without a wifi password. I can continue for now but if one of you have any suggestions, pls let me know.

It didn't work for me.

Just to make sure about the conditions.
You do use a blank node, which never was used with another firmware?
Or you wiped the node clean by flashing a blank firmware first?

Then, when the node boots ESPEasy, it cannot find the network (for obvious reasons) and will present an AP.
Connecting to this AP is not accepting the default password? ("configesp")

What I did with my Nodemcu, It was an already in use MCU, loaded the "blank 1 MB" option, after finish loading (without reseting), loaded the "Normal_esp8266_iM.bin". Finished loading, disconneted the module, connect to ESPWIFI en get the password request. That is what I did.

[grovkillen]

Blank 4MB, please try that first.

[Dick60]

Unfortunately the sam result. What I did: New MCU Blank_4Mb, after finishing loaded a blank_1Mb, after finishing loaded the normal_8266_1Mb. Also tried blaNK_ 4Mb and after that the normal_8266_1Mb. Same as previous but than all with the 4Mb version. All the sam results

[grovkillen]

Sounds like a corrupt memory? Tried another board?

[Dick60]

Tested again tris morning. a brand new NodeMCU and a D1 both the same result, Password 'espconfig' incorrect. Because they are brand new, corrupte memory could not be the reason.

And "configesp" as I wrote a few days ago?

Code: Select all

#ifndef DEFAULT_AP_KEY
#define DEFAULT_AP_KEY      "configesp"         // Enter network WPA key for AP (config) mode
#endif

[Dick60]

Forgot to mention, tried that password as well withou any positive result. Just unpacked my last NodeMCU, loaded the 1 Mb blank and after that the normal 1 Mb (the one 20201003) no better result.

A lot has been said in this thread so I lost count already of what was tried and what not.

If you cannot connect to the ESP as AP, then you should try:
- Erase the known WiFi setting for that AP you're connecting with (espeasy or espeasy_0 probably)
- Try another PC/mobile to setup the ESP node.
- Try configure the "wifissid" / "wifikey" via serial (using espeasy flasher or just some terminal tool like Putty) (don't forget to call "save")

[Dick60]

deleting the ESPeasy from my known wifi network list did the job. The password espconfig is the correct one. For all, thanks for the support! I continue with my build! Have a nice day and a lot of fun!

You might as well flip it around anyways

Not sure if "psegifnoc" is so much better to remember
