Also when using a shared network, sometimes the password or login has changed and connecting to the Internet is an issue. It could also be that when the MacBook is trying to connect to a network the connection is longer available and users may want to know how to forget the WiFi network connected to the MacBook.

Another reason that Mac OS X users would want to forget a wireless network is if the Apple computer connects to a different WiFi network by mistake. In any case, it’s easy to forget a wireless network on Mac OSX. The following is a guide on how to get a MacBook to forget a Wi-Fi network and will work on the Apple MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, MacBook Pro with Retina display and iMac.
