Hi, I've been wondering if it was possible to change the settings(password) for the default hotspot program in kali 3.18.2
i looked a lot but didn't find anything.
I've also tried hostapd but I haven't been able to make it work.

Hi. To change the default password of Hotspot, do the following steps.
Ensure you are root user or your account has sudo permissions.
In the terminal type.
sudo gedit /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/Hotspot

In this file, under [wifi security] change psk value to desired password and save the file.
Once you restart your system, the default password will be changed.
