use "netsh wlan set hostednetwork ..." to create a wifi hotspot and the authentication can't work correctly

I run `netsh wlan show drivers` and get the output containing `Hosted network supported : Yes`: ``` Interface name: Wireless Network Connection Driver : Broadcom 802.11n Network Adapter Vendor : Broadcom Provider : Broadcom Date : 8/22/2013 Version : 6.32.223.1 INF file : C:\Windows\INF\oem75.inf Files : 5 total C:\Windows\system32\DRIVERS\BCMWL664.SYS C:\Windows\system32\bcmihvsrv64.dll C:\Windows\system32\bcmihvui64.dll C:\Windows\system32\drivers\vwifibus.sys C:\Windows\system32\bcmwlcoi.dll Type : Native Wi-Fi Driver Radio types supported : 802.11n 802.11g 802.11b FIPS 140-2 mode supported : Yes Hosted network supported : Yes Authentication and cipher supported in infrastructure mode: Open None Open WEP Shared None Shared WEP WPA2-Enterprise TKIP WPA2-Personal TKIP WPA2-Enterprise CCMP WPA2-Personal CCMP WPA2-Enterprise Vendor defined WPA2-Enterprise Vendor defined Vendor defined Vendor defined Vendor defined Vendor defined Vendor defined TKIP Vendor defined CCMP Vendor defined Vendor defined Vendor defined Vendor defined WPA-Enterprise TKIP WPA-Personal TKIP WPA-Enterprise CCMP WPA-Personal CCMP Authentication and cipher supported in ad-hoc mode: WPA2-Personal CCMP Open None Open WEP IHV service present : Yes IHV adapter OUI : [00 10 18], type: [00] IHV extensibility DLL path: C:\Windows\System32\bcmihvsrv64.dll IHV UI extensibility ClSID: {aaa6dee9-31b9-4f18-ab39-82ef9b06eb73} IHV diagnostics CLSID : {00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000} ``` Then `netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=happy key=12345678`, get ``` The hosted network mode has been set to allow. The SSID of the hosted network has been successfully changed. The user key passphrase of the hosted network has been successfully changed. ``` Then `netsh wlan start hostednetwork`, get ``` The hosted network started. ``` After that, in `Network and Sharing Center` -> `Change adapter settings`, I set up shared hotspot as the tutorial said. Everything looks well. Then I switch wifi to open on my android phone, find the "happy" network, select "Connect", type the password "12345678"(without quotes). Now, it first hints "authenticating..." and at last comes up with an error: Authentication problem. I'm certain that I typed the right password, for I checked "show password" and tried again and again... Here is what `netsh wlan show hostednetwork` prints: ``` Hosted network settings ----------------------- Mode : Allowed SSID name : "happy" Max number of clients : 100 Authentication : WPA2-Personal Cipher : CCMP Hosted network status --------------------- Status : Started BSSID : 68:94:23:b9:86:9d Radio type : 802.11n Channel : 11 Number of clients : 0 ``` I tried rebooting, tried changing SSID, tried changing password, tried `netsh wlan stop hostednetwork` then start again, several days passed but it doesn't work yet. If you need more data or log about this problem, please tell me how to acquire it and I'll do it. Please help, thanks! Update: it's solved. Methods in previous answers are tried but no good. All steps with no change, but change input method as I said in answer, it works. Thank you all.
