I would try this: |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
1. Select the system menu (top right corner) |
| 24 |
2. Select settings (lower left corner of the menu) |
| 25 |
3. Select Network |
| 26 |
4. Click the gears icon for the wireless network |
| 27 |
5. Select the "Reset" option (last option available) |
| 28 |
6. Click the "Forget" button |
| 29 |
|

This should allow you to start from the beginning. You should not need to |
| 31 |
muck around around with permissions, it should Just Work™. |
