Of course this password is invalid, but I can't change that, and I should be able to connect anyway. Actually I could connect the first time, and after that it wouldn't enable the "connect" button anymore. I hope we're not in the business of policing other people's wifi... I really can't configure their system, but if you relax the constraints on your side, then I can have wifi access and work on my PhD project. Thanks for considering the net value of policing other people.
