I have been trying to access wifi but kept being told that I had the wrong password.
I subsequently realized that I indeed was typing in the wrong passwork. When I tried to access it again with the correct password, the name of the wifi provider I was supposed to connect to disappeared from the list of providers.
Has that happened to you? Has that provider's name been deleted because it looked suspicious that I was trying repeatedly to access it with the wrong password?
Am I supposed to wait a day or 2 for that provider's name to reappear of the list?

I don't have a clue. My wi-fi stays on 24/7 and it's a secure setting so

no one can access it unless I give them the password. That ain't happening.
But I do see my neighbors all around me networks but since I don't have their
passwords I can't access their signal. But I have my own so no need to use
their wi-fi.

I don't have a clue for this either.

Who is the provider? Where is the network set up? Why don't you ask them?

Couldn't there be a command (alt-?) that will reveal the complete list of wifi connections including the one that disappeared after I entered the wrong password over and over?

information since you didn't know the password. But I bet you've not asked
anyone other than here for help.

in the system tray. Clicking on it brings up a box with the wifi manager.
But you'd think he's seeing that, if he can see the list of networks.
All the ones I've seen, when you can see the list of networks there is
a refresh button or scan or something that scans and updates the list.
If nothing else, rebooting would do it.
It's also possible that somehow the network got marked to ignore or
something, so that it won't show up, but seems unlikely.
