Questions and answers
I cannot connect the wifi to my unit F770, it keep showing incorrect password (123456789). Even after pressing the reset button to set the unit back to default setting, but it still show incorrect password (123456789). Please kindly advise how to resolve this problem. Thanks！
To resolve the incorrect password issue when connecting the Thinkware F770 WiFi, ensure you are entering the default password “123456789” during the first connection. If the device has been reset, this should restore the default password. Also, make sure you are selecting the correct SSID “thinkware” and are within the 10-meter (33 ft) range. If the issue persists, try restarting both the dash cam and your smart device, then attempt the connection again within 2 minutes of activating Wi-Fi mode on the dash cam.
