    I seem to have accidentally added the Tim Horton's chain WIFI to my "forget" list. It doesn't even show as an available network anymore. How do I get it back?

    If it isn't showing in the available networks lists, that network isn't available anymore or you are not in the range.

    Try restarting your phone or contact your network provider. Probably, it is a bug on your network. Try restarting your Wi-Fi too.

    Some devices only require you to tap the WiFi. The forget button then would be located where it would say connect.

    Go to Settings. Click on the Wi-Fi option, then Manage Networks. Or click on the three dots next to the name of the Wi-Fi and then click on Forget Network.

    My WiFi network keeps signing in with old credentials and not prompting me to enter new ones, even though I have tried to "forget" it. This is on Android.

    You can attempt to identify and find the file storing your information and then edit it to the proper new information, or risk deleting it in hope a new one will be created.
