If you are lucky enough to have a HERO5 Black or HERO5 session then read-on.

2. From the main screen, swipe down.
3. Tap Connect  >> Reset Connections >>  tap Reset.
4. A new password will be generated by the camera.

NOTE: The camera name cannot be altered on the HERO5 Black, only the password can be reset.

Now for the HERO5 Session. It’s a little more convoluted…
