How to enter alphabetic WIFI password characters?

Use the number keys.  For the most part the letters on the keys represent the letters (lower case and upper case) that you cycle through with the specific keys.  Hitting the key repeatedly gets you the next letter in the sequence.  For button "2" you cycle through 2abcABC.  Button "1" gets you the characters.

That's what I assumed right from the start, but that's not the way it's working.  
Every subsequent press of the key just prints out another iteration of the same numeral.

For example, I need to enter the letter "x".  It should take 3 key presses.  But instead of the 'x', I get 999.



UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE

Got it to work!  I was apparantly pausing too long between each keypress.  
By pressing each key rapidly, I got it to cycle through all the characters.
WIFI is now connected.

Did you figure it out? You have to RAPIDLY press the button to cycle from the number to the letter. Took me an eternity to figure out
