need help generating a wifi credential file for my Mini

I am running FW 6.2.6 and Bootloader 2.4.1 on my Mini+.  I just installed an ESP8266 ESP-01S WiFi Serial Transceiver Module with 4MB Flash.  It seems to work because the wifi symbol lights up on the Mini+ screen.  Now I need to generate a wifi credential file (prusa_printer_settings.ini) on my Mini+ so I can edit it on my computer.  I've scrolled through all the Mini menus, but cannot find the choice that does that.  Can anyone help?  Thanks!

Thanks for the reply.  Those instructions are for FW4, I am using FW6 which is a different procedure.

For those who follow . . .

I more or less followed the the procedure found here.  The concept I did not understand was that the Prusa Slicer sends the *.bgcode file to the printer using PrusaLink.  Once the WiFi credentials are hand-entered using the printer Wizard, a prusa_printer_settings.ini file is not needed.  One only has to enter the printer's IP address into a computer browser command line, PrusaLink appears and needs the username and password found in the printer's PrusaLink menu. Then, select the file to print in PrusaLink, it transfers to the printer and it lights up ready to print.
