Wifi Password on Windows 10?

So my roommate just changed the Wifi password and I know it. But my Windows 10 computer tries to connect with the old password and says it can't connect. I know the router is fine because my phones connects just fine with the new password. But how can I re-write the password on my computer in Windows 10?

    That's the main reason I usually recommend changing the network name (SSID) when changing the key.

    Go to your Control Panel, Network and Internet, Network and Sharing Center, on the left panel, click Manage wireless networks, and delete the network from there.

    Afterwards it will ask you the key when you try to connect.

    Click on the WiFi icon in the taskbar. Click on the router name, uncheck "Connect automatically", click on "Connect" and enter the new password.
