Question What's my WiFi Hotspot password?

My wife just received her 2017 X5 5.0L and in the ConnectedDrive options, I noticed she had a WiFi Hotspot option so I searched for available Wireless networks on her phone and indeed, it shows some BMW-545XX name as a WiFi connection but what's the password? would it be in the owner's manual and under which section?

I tried hitting the option key next to the iDrive controller knob hoping it would give me an option to change the passcode but it just shows me an option to activate split screen.

I called my SA to ask him about it and he said it doesn't work in Dubai due to government regulations but I just wanna make sure. I wanna know what's the passcode for the Wireless connection anyway to see if it works as she has the ConnectDrive Services option in her car features list

I know not if there is a restriction in Dubai. But, on every vehicle I used hotspot, the code was either display on IDrive screen or could be changed in settings. The code was unique; otherwise, anyone could connect.

If it works in Dubai, it would likely be the same as here in the US"

thanks for that video. I'll try it soon if I can add it that way.
