Default SSID and WLAN password: Scan the QR code.
It will display something like WIFI:S:PXC4.E16-2_0000550;T:WPA;P:1400052738;;
Then SSID = PXC4.E16-2_0000550 and password = 1400052738

Determine manually: Use the information from the Date/Series/SN block It will display something like:

Date/Series: 20190423A0000550
S/N: 1400052738

SSID = <ASN>_<Running number after the series letter> and password = <S/N>
