Deleting a Wi-fi password

Question

I would like to delete the password off of my Windows 10 Dell for my home network.  How can I get it to forget the password?  (Maybe there's a registry hack?)

Follow these steps to clear the wifi network and password from your device:

Select Start menu in your taskbar at the bottom left of your screen.
Go to 'Settings' and then 'Network & Internet'.
Select 'WiFi' on the left menu, then select 'Manage known networks'.
Select the network you want to remove, then click 'Forget'.
Now, verify that you device is no longer log-in automatically to the removed network.

You may also delete a Wi-Fi network profile using the Windows Command Prompt or Power Shell: Start the Command Prompt as administrator and type the following commands:
