This document is to help guide you through the process of forgetting a wi-fi your MacBook had connected to before.

4. When prompted, go ahead and enter in your personal username and password that you have set to use as a login to your computer. Once you typed in the credential, click on "unlock".
If this step is successful, the lock on the bottom left should now be displaying an unlocked lock.



5. Click on "advanced" on the bottom right of the network preference setting.


6. Select the network that you want to forget.


7. Below the network preference box, click the hyphen (-) button to remove the known network.
