Please bear in mind that some of the below methods will require you to use the GoPro app via your smartphone or GoPro studio via your PC and not only the camera itself, since each GoPro model has it’s own password reset procedure, the older the model, the longer it takes to reset the password.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You will notice that the Hero+, Hero2 WiFi BacPac and the Hero3\/3+ have longer procedures and requires you to download files (which I also included in the steps).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Just follow each step carefully and you should succeed in resetting the password in no time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nMany people asked me to show them how to reset GoPro Hero 3 wifi password without a computer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Unfortunately, this is not possible, you will need a computer since the reset procedure requires some files to be downloaded and copied to the camera SD card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is the easiest method on how to reset a GoPro Hero 3 and 3+ WiFi password:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1- Either connect your GoPro to your computer or remove the microSD card and insert it in an SD card adapter<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2- Download the configuration files below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n\tGoPro Hero3<\/a>\n<\/li>
- \n\tGoPro Hero3+<\/a>\n<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
3- Unzip the downloaded folders<\/p>\n\n\n\n
4- Open the unzipped folder, then open “settings.in” with Notepad and edit only the bold part of the SSID and password as shown below, then save and close the file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“ssid”:”GoProHero<\/strong>“,
“password”:”goprohero<\/strong>“<\/p>\n\n\n\n- For Hero 3+: Make sure the files are in the “UPDATE” folder, otherwise it won\u2019t work. Paste the whole \u201cUPDATE\u201d folder in your microSD card root folder.<\/li>
- For Hero 3: You only need to paste the files without the folder, to the root directory of your microSD card.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
5- Disconnect your GoPro from your computer, it will turn off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
6- Turn the GoPro back on. It should now show you that it\u2019s updating. Once this is completed, it will turn off again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
7- You can turn it back on and connect to the WiFi SSID that you chose in step4 using the password you specified as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
