How to Disable Zoom Password
Let me be clear.
The host cannot remove the Zoom meeting passwords.
Even though an option is available in the Zoom prefs, Zoom admin has locked it.
That means a password is required for all Zoom meetings for now.
However, you’re free to change the password for meetings created with your Personal Meeting ID.
For that, fire up the linkzoom.us/profile/setting.
Scroll down, and you will see Require a password for Personal Meeting ID option.

Update App
You should start by updating your Zoom app wherever you use it.
Also, restarting your laptop or phone running Zoom would be a good choice too.
Be Patient
Take a deep breathand bang out the password shared by your host carefully and slowly.

On your PC, you should take a look at the Num Lock key.
When enabled, you might use the numbers on the key.
And, if it is disabled, the numbers will not work.
So, press the Num Lock key to switch on the numbers.
Then, try entering the Zoom password again.
Confirm With Host
Sometimes, the host ends the meeting even though you have the necessary details.
So confirm with your host if the meeting still exists.
