I changed my internet service provider. When I came to charge my car it would not register for smart charge. it has charged but on house rate. Panicked I took to internet to try and found out how to change. Found and started the procedure, part way through was asked for hypervolt password. Checked the booklet they gave on installation but nothing, wife suggested my password manager app. There it was started again and when asked inserted password, wrong. Tried couple of times but nothing joy. Y body got a work round for this, or know how to get charger back online?

Hey ​@DFC202 

 

I checked in with the team about this one and they’ve said you’ll need to speak to Hypervolt (you can do this here) to change your password to get you logged in and then you’ll be able to reconnect the charger to the internet.

 

Let us know how you get on.

All sorted, spoke to hypervolt who ran through things with me, but still wouldn’t show any networks. They raised a ticket, before bed thought I’d try again and it connected to me wifi. Entered password and all works. Thanks.

Hi ​@DFC202 

 

I'm pleased to see your issue was resolved and the issue of storing passwords is always a tricky one as you are not supposed to write them down and I don't trust password managers as such to always remember what password I used. What I do may be of use.

 

I use a password protected Word document. The password for this you must never forget but at least it is only one password. Start the document, password protect the document, add your site URL and password and any memorable data that needs to go with it as a simple list. If the list gets big you can use the Find function.

 

Really important, save the document with some ordinary but obscure name that does not have the letters ‘pass’ in it. Please do not save it as The List Of All My Passwords. Choose something boring but something you can find again.

 

When you create a new password create it in your list of passwords, copy it and paste it into the webpage. That way you can be certain you've got the right spelling and capitalisation and other characters. Sometimes you can't do it from the webpage to your password document because what comes up on the screen is anonymised dots or asterisks. You could also keep that list off your online device like a memory stick but PLEASE make sure it has a back up.

 

You can of course use a password manager but that may not be available across all your devices. You could use a cloud password store facility but I don't like putting my passwords there. Passkeys are the new thing and I've not got any trust in that yet.

Actually the “Don't write passwords down” is a case of specific advice for one situation being applied (mostly erroneously) to all situations.

“Don't write your password down” was good advice for workplaces, educational establishmnents, and the like - before most people had home computers and only used them in organisations where someone could snoop about while you were away from your desk and find where you had written it down and use it to imporsonate you.

It was never meant fot passwords that you use on your computer(s) at home, someone would have to break into your house to find where you had written those down.

However do make sure that it is “written” on a piece of paper ot in a notebook.and not stored on the computer where it could be hacked. (Although TBH that's also extremely unlikely, hackers target businesses and government organisations, not many individuals are worth hacking).

I said, Hey - Watts going on.
