Restore from a Backup:

Have a recent backup of your iPhone? If you are not concerned with losing data, then restore your iPhone from a backup that was made when you had this network. Prior to restoring, backup your iPhone, incase anything goes wrong with the restoration.

Yes. Next time you are within that Wi-Fi Network's reach then open Settings ➔ Wi-Fi : You should see that Wi-Fi Network listed and then you can tap on it and enter the password again. That will connect you to that network and the password will be saved for next time.


FYI - Forgetting a Network simply removes its password and settings which prevents our device to connect to it automatically.

Note that passwords are only saved with an encrypted back up.
