PC does not ask for WLAN password - no connection?

There are already tens of times on Google and here, but none of the solutions mentioned helps me…

I have set up the access to here and there available WLAN hotspots with our Internetprovider. Now I've got a username and password, but the problem is that neither my notebook nor my PC asks me for a password if I want to connect to this wireless network. Of course, therefore, no connection is made. As a blockbuster Windows then indicates in the error analysis, it is a password-protected access. Haha, hoho, the old comedian: - /

What I tried:
In the Network and Sharing Center, I should right-click on the connection and connect it manually. Does not work, because in this center only connections are displayed with which I was ever connected, sometimes several years ago. But those who are currently within my reach, including the hotspot, are not on this list.

Delete the connection and let it find again. Does not work, because I can only click on "Connect". Del. Press brings nothing.

Something on the router is also eliminated, because I do not have a router available. The stands with the Internetprovider:-)

WLAN itself goes, of course, in unprotected networks, I come in, just like home i now also own. Although I have no idea how I verkilckert the PC at that time our new WLAN PW…

So that's what I do not know if I'm the idiot, or maybe the one who programmed such incredible nonsense. Wieseo asks me Windows for a password, if I want to connect to a password-protected network? Actually somehow amusing…

Nevertheless, I'm happy about pertinent hints:-)

Username and password are actually no information needed for a Wi-Fi connection.

These are actually just SSID and password, where the SSID is the ID of the Wi-Fi network and not a specific user.

It would be good if you describe in detail what you want to connect to.

Where does the access point stand for the WLAN connection and who manages it?
Why should the access data serve officially? Really for a Wi-Fi connection or maybe it's access data for Internet access?

You connect normally with the unencrypted SSID of the WLAN network. (In Wondows everything on default settings)

Afterwards you open an UNCLUSTER web page (http and not https) in your browser, then you will be redirected to the login page, where you can login with username and password

I do not understand… The Wi-Fi is encrypted. How should I connect to it unencrypted? If I connect, that breaks off and I get told that I would need a password. I have that, but he does not let me enter it anywhere…

Ri

Should actually be unencrypted. What you mean by encryption error is probably more of a HTTPS error message in the browser. If the encryption of the network was not correct, you would get the error immediately when connecting and not in the browser. Just try calling a http server (for example, http://hallo.de, just type!) In the brpwser.

No, that will not work. I'm already the step before that I can't connect to the network at all… Because I just can't enter the access data…

Ri

The network is still unencrypted. So you can just connect (without inputting any data!), Then you're on the net, but you still have no Internet access and you have to sign up as described above by me.

I think we talk completely past each other:-)

The network is password protected, as 90% of all wireless networks you find on the road. I can't connect to it, just as I can connect to the wlan of our neighbors because I do not know their password. If I could just 'connect' to it, I would not write that I can't connect… Only - to the Unitymedia Hotspot I have the / any access data, but I will not ask for it and therefore can't enter. The user Zaodadong above has understood what I mean, only he does not answer unfortunately. I'll call Unitymedia. Can't be that I pay the stuff since August and can't use.

What's the name of the network you want to connect to? (SSID)

Ri

Okay, at UM is slightly different than other providers.

So that's already in the Richting, thanks! But it depends on point 3, because when connecting to just said Wifispot opens with me nothing, where I could enter settings, username or password or something. It simply comes the message that always comes when you want to connect to an unknown Wi-Fi. "The connection could not be established". If I click on "Diagnosis" under the dialogue, a message comes up, which means that this connection presupposes an existing profile. Or something like that. Only… (on the wall hammers and in the edge of the table bites) … I have the profile, but the bird makes me verd… Again, nowhere to enter. And that's it.
