Unable to change ap wifi password

[alyas]

MicroPython v1.8.7-7-gb5a1a20a3 on 2017-01-09; ESP module with ESP8266

As per help(), ap_if.config(essid="<AP_NAME>", authmode=network.AUTH_WPA_WPA2_PSK, password="<password>")

import network
>>> ap = network.WLAN(network.AP_IF)
>>> ap.active()
True
>>> ap.config(essid='uPY_12n', authmode=network.AUTH_WPA_WPA2_PSK, password="uPy1234")
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
OSError: can't set AP config
>>> ap.ifconfig()
('192.168.4.1', '255.255.255.0', '192.168.4.1', '192.168.254.254')
>>> ap.config(essid = 'uPY_12n')
>>> print(ap.config('essid'))
uPY_12n
>>> ap.config(authmode = network.AUTH_WPA_WPA2_PSK)
>>> print(ap.config('authmode'))

I can not change the default ap wifi password nor could I even print the default micropythoN wifi password
I tried on the latest stable build and it's also the same. What am I doing wrong? My esp module is a ESP-12N from DOIT owever I also tried it on a D1 mini with an ESP-12E and the results are the same.

It seems your password is to short. If you use "uPy12345" it will work.

Yes! Thank you! Changing the password length worked
However print(ap.config('password')) still not working
