Airplay requesting password

My Sonos One has suddenly started requesting a password for AirPlay. I also have a Symphonisk on the same network which is working fine (not requesting a password). Previously for several months both have been working fine, including airplay with no password. Recently I bought a HomePod mini which is on the same network - that’s the only recent change I know of. Now I can airplay to the Symphonisk or the HomePod mini but when I try to airplay to the Sonos One, from any of our Apple devices (all of which previously worked fine), it requests a password.

To summarise: Symphonisk, HomePod mini, Sonos One on the network. Several iPhones in use across the family. Everything works fine except when any iPhone tries to airplay to the Sonos One, it needs a password.

What do I do?

Yes - seen the management profile issue. That’s not a factor here.

Factory reset the Sonos One and it’s now working OK. Hopefully the problem won’t recur...

Perhaps try rebooting the local router first of all and see if that quickly resolves the issue.

No better.

No better. 

Does powering off/on the targeted Sonos device make any difference?

I also found this old thread where there might be the case of a works mobile attached to the network that has a management profile installed… see this link:
