use "netsh wlan set hostednetwork ..." to create a wifi hotspot and the authentication can't work correctly
I run netsh wlan show drivers and get the output containing Hosted network supported : Yes:

Then netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=happy key=12345678, get
The hosted network mode has been set to allow.
The SSID of the hosted network has been successfully changed.
The user key passphrase of the hosted network has been successfully changed.
Then netsh wlan start hostednetwork, get
The hosted network started.
After that, in Network and Sharing Center -> Change adapter settings, I set up shared hotspot as the tutorial said.
Everything looks well. Then I switch wifi to open on my android phone, find the "happy" network, select "Connect", type the password "12345678"(without quotes).
Now, it first hints "authenticating..." and at last comes up with an error: Authentication problem. I'm certain that I typed the right password, for I checked "show password" and tried again and again...
Here is what netsh wlan show hostednetwork prints:
Hosted network settings
-----------------------
Mode : Allowed
SSID name : "happy"
Max number of clients : 100
Authentication : WPA2-Personal
Cipher : CCMP
Hosted network status
---------------------
Status : Started
BSSID : 68:94:23:b9:86:9d
Radio type : 802.11n
Channel : 11
Number of clients : 0
I tried rebooting, tried changing SSID, tried changing password, tried netsh wlan stop hostednetwork then start again, several days passed but it doesn't work yet.
If you need more data or log about this problem, please tell me how to acquire it and I'll do it.
Please help, thanks!
Update: it's solved. Methods in previous answers are tried but no good. All steps with no change, but change input method as I said in answer, it works. Thank you all.
Answer
Use these commands on a windows command prompt(cmd) with administrator privilege (run as administrator):
netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=tests key=tests123
netsh wlan start hostednetwork
Then you go to Network and sharing center and click on "change adapter settings" (I'm using windows 7, it can be a little different on windows 8)
Then right click on the lan connection (internet connection that you are using), properties.
Click on sharing tab, select the wireless connection tests (the name tests you can change on the command line) and check "Allow other network users to connect through this network connection"
This done, your connection is ready to use!
