wifi crashes in ubuntu 16.04 lts xenial

Asked by israel oluwole

Good day,
I am a new ubuntu user and I've been finding a solution everywhere to this issue:
I run ubuntu (studio) 16.04 lts, code name: xenial dual booted with windows 8 on Hp notebook 15. When I first installed ubuntu, hotspot from my BlackBerry q10 connects fine but suddenly it stopped and every time i connect it pops up the dialog box: wifi authentication required by wifi network and expects me to retype a password that is already correct!
I have tried reinstalling network manager, adding [device] wifi-rand*... to network*.conf and so on and rebooted over and again. Nothing has changed yet. The same applies to my bluetooth too (it was okay suddenly it changed)

I need help quick, I need my pc for an imminent exam. Thank you
