in my understanding,

in their office, they know the password of their internet connection,

therefore they can setup the password in the AMT,

so they can access the devices remotely,

but after the products being distributed all over the world,

then each are connected to different wifi router with different passwords,

therefore they need to set up another wifi password to the AMT,

in order for the AMT to be connected with the internet,

so that they can access it remotely,

but then how do they know the password ?

also how do they access it remotely to re-setup the password ?

why without password? I would assume that you have to configure the
password in the ME settings. You have to assume the usual environment
where AMT is used: The device proprietor has a fleet of them in their
office; they configure AMT once so its able to access their network;
from then on, they can manage the devices remotely. That's the basic
idea and I don't see why one wouldn't be able to set a WiFi password.

Maybe that's the point of confusion: That things are hidden from the
host OS doesn't mean that they are hidden from the device' adminis-
trator.
