Wrong WiFi Password

#1 Post by dbemowsk » 30 Jul 2023, 06:58

So I flashed an ESP32-C3 module. After flashing I went to the page where you select your WiFi network and enter your password. I think I entered the wrong password for the WiFi and now it will not connect. When I try to re-flash it, all that happens it the flash tool's console window just show a series of periods going across the screen. Is there a way for me to correct the password that is wrong or at least get back to where I can select the WiFi network again?

Using a serial terminal program you can type commands to the unit, but that won't echo to the screen until you press <enter>, and you can't use backspace to correct.
The command to set the SSID is:
wifissid,<your_ssid>
and to set the password use:
wifikey,<your_password>

Then typing the 'save' command will store the settings and reconnect to WiFi :)

Thank you, that worked. I found out I had selected the wrong fimware version, but once I was in I was able to do an OTA update to the correct one.

Thank you again

On the web flash page, you can also open a serial console via the web UI.
Also that tool will detect which ESP is connected and pick the correct firmware file for you.
