How to remove a device from my Network

Moogera
Up to speed

I temporarily gave my neighbour the WiFi password just to help with internet job applications as they only had a 2gb data allowance on their mobile

How can I remove their phone from my Wifi network? Without changing all the passwords?

Asking  because they're now refusing to let have access to their phone to delete my network from it  😳

If it’s an iPhone they can easily circumvent this. Best way is to reset password.

True but the OP specifically said they didn't want to change their password, If the phone owner is on 2gig data with no Internet I doubt they have many IT skills, and if they do manage to circumvent it they can change the password then
