**Description** Hi, I’m trying to start a meeting and passing back the credentials to my backend. For now I’m using a hardcoded user to be able to create a meeting from the Android SDK. I’m able to both join or create (instant) meeting, the problem is there is no way to get the password, I realize this might be not ideal but would like to know if it’s possible, otherwise what is the proposed method for other users to join the meeting I create from the SDK without having to explicitly get the password by other means? **Which version?** Android SDK - 4.4.55968.0904 (According to getVersion(Context)) ---

Hi [oscar.rene1989](https://devforum.zoom.us/u/oscar.rene1989), Thanks for the post. If you would like to get the meeting password, here are the steps: 1. Call the InMeetingService.getCurrentMeetingID([https://zoom.github.io/zoom-sdk-android/us/zoom/sdk/InMeetingService.html#getCurrentMeetingID--](https://zoom.github.io/zoom-sdk-android/us/zoom/sdk/InMeetingService.html#getCurrentMeetingID--)) 2. Pass the Meeting ID to PreMeetingService.getMeetingItemByUniqueId([https://zoom.github.io/zoom-sdk-android/us/zoom/sdk/PreMeetingService.html#getMeetingItemByUniqueId-long-](https://zoom.github.io/zoom-sdk-android/us/zoom/sdk/PreMeetingService.html#getMeetingItemByUniqueId-long-)) 3. You will get a MeetingItem object that contains the meeting info, then call getPassword([https://zoom.github.io/zoom-sdk-android/us/zoom/sdk/MeetingItem.html#getPassword--](https://zoom.github.io/zoom-sdk-android/us/zoom/sdk/MeetingItem.html#getPassword--)) to get the meeting password. Hope this helps. Thanks! ---

Thanks for the response, my issue now is that `getCurrentMeetingID` returns a String that doesn’t seem like it can be parsed as a number (HeReSCe1Tqub4BbuGvL0tQ==) and the `getMeetingItemByUniqueId` takes a long, that I even tried passing the meeting number with no success. Do I need to do something else before? ---

Hi [oscar.rene1989](https://devforum.zoom.us/u/oscar.rene1989), Thanks for the reply. I found a solution that could make everything easier, you can disable the password on the account level, you can login your zoom account on the web portal([zoom.us](http://zoom.us)), and change the following setting to off: ![36%20PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/zoomdeveloper/original/2X/d/dc87fa265de640a1a101ce9831d419fde582aba3.png) Once you disable this, then you do not need to worry about the password when start an instant meeting. Hope this helps. Thanks! ---

Hi [zhpszoom](https://devforum.zoom.us/u/zhpszoom), Thanks for the reply. If you need guidance for the SDK initialization, you may refer to the doc: [https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/sdk/native-sdks/android/mastering-zoom-sdk/sdk-initialization](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/sdk/native-sdks/android/mastering-zoom-sdk/sdk-initialization) Hope this helps.

Hi @codelogicapp, You could disable the password in the user-level setting. If you are the admin of the account, but not be able to modify the account-level setting, then you might need to contact Zoom support at [https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/201362003](https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/201362003) and have one of the Zoom experts to help on your account. Thanks! ---
