Resetting The Password On a GoPro 3 (All Models Including 3+)
Unfortunately, it’s not as easy with the 3rd generation and 3+ models. However, it doesn’t take longer than a minute or two. All you need is your GoPro with the microSD card inserted and the cable to connect it to your computer.
Connect your GoPro to your computer. (Alternatively, you can also just insert your microSD card using an SD card adapter) Download the correct file from the list below GoPro Hero 3 (all editions) GoPro Hero 3+ Black GoPro Hero 3+ Silver Extract the zipped folder. Copy the folder’s contents and paste its content to the root folder of your GoPro’s microSD card. Hero 3+: Paste the whole “UPDATE” folder to your GoPro’s root folder. The files must be in a folder with the name “UPDATE”; otherwise, it won’t work. Hero 3: Paste only the files, not the folder, to the root directory of your GoPro. Unplug your GoPro. It should automatically turn off. Turn it back on. Your GoPro should display now that it’s updating. Once it’s done, it will turn off again. You can turn it back on now and connect to its WiFi network with your device using the default login: Network name (SSID): GoProHero Network password: goprohero
In case you want to have a different SSID and password directly, you can change that by editing two lines in the “settings.in” file: “ssid”:”GoProHero”, “password”:”goprohero”
Good luck with your password change! Hopefully by now, you are ready to go and make some great shots!
