Apple TV 3rd generation, couldn’t able to connect WiFi network.
I have to change WiFi password in Apple TV.
always it is showing wrong password then it won’t ask for change password and there is no option to forget WiFi network…
I have done reset but it didn’t help me..
No dear sir/madam, I have tried so many times but no help..
it didn’t give up..

100% it is an bug.
if it is hardware or software limitation it would have shown some error but here in this case it is showing wrong password so it is an BUG.
apple should fix it..
I found a bug in Apple TV 3rd generation.
I changed my WiFi security to no security, then I got surprised Apple TV just connected to my wifi network, then I changed password encryption security from no security to WPA 3, Apple TV didn’t connected and again I changed WPA 3 to WPA and this time Apple TV successfully connected to my WiFi.
so Apple TV 3rd gen won’t connect to WPA3 WiFi, it only connect to WPA encrypted WiFi networks..
A reset to factory setting shouldn’t be needed, but that would make it forget all personal settings, including any previously used Wi-Fi passwords. Reset or restore your Apple TV to its factory settings - Apple Support
Even later generations try to sign in with remembered Wi-Fi passwords. You have to persist a few times, and then eventually it will give up trying the old password, and ask for a new password. Also see: discussions.apple.com/thread/250379065
It is not bug, it is a limitation of the Wi-Fi circuitry of 2012.
WAP3 is supported on Apple TV 4K (5th generation or later). Protocol security - Apple Support
WPA2 should be supported on earlier models, though.
WPA(1) is a deprecated protocol, severely insecure, and should not be used.
Apple TV can't forget wifi network for new password
