Deleting a Wi-fi password

I would like to delete the password off of my Windows 10 Dell for my home network.  How can I get it to forget the password?  (Maybe there's a registry hack?)

Follow these steps to clear the wifi network and password from your device:

  1. Select Start menu in your taskbar at the bottom left of your screen.
  2. Go to 'Settings' and then 'Network & Internet'.
  3. Select 'WiFi' on the left menu, then select 'Manage known networks'.
  4. Select the network you want to remove, then click 'Forget'.
  5. Now, verify that you device is no longer log-in automatically to the removed network.

You may also delete a Wi-Fi network profile using the Windows Command Prompt or Power Shell:  Start the Command Prompt as administrator and type the following commands:

Commands What does it do
netsh wlan show profiles Shows a list of Wi-Fi profiles configured on the system.
netsh wlan delete profile name="profile name" Deletes the specified Wi-Fi profile
netsh wlan delete profile name=* Deletes ALL Wi-Fi profiles configured on the system.
