If you go to where the password is set, is there an option to "show password"? Some menus contain a box that lets you decide whether the password is shown or not.

Sorry if this isn't much help.

Do you have the other device? The iphone? Does it let you see the password?

Under the WiFi Function menu scroll to the Phone Icon, then Change Settings, go through that set of menus and there should be an encryption key option.

I will check it out and let you know.

Thanks

Canon can shove their head up their backside. Once again, the most simple things are completely complicated. The help you get is completely wrong. They give completely wrong instructions in their manuals too. Try to find YOUR password on YOUR camera is next to impossable?. I hear Canon may call it the encryption code. Even if you could get to that screen they then call password encription. Canonn is totally F $%ked and I would like to take the 10s of thousands of dollars in equipment I bought from them up their A$$.Go to he!! Canon!!!

For all of its general uselessness, that rant does accomplish one thing: It exposes, for all to see, how little you know about wi-fi.
