Robot is stuck on spinning circles screen

Hello,


I am part of a design team that has been tasked with adding multiple applications to Pepper. When we first received Pepper, we needed to perform a factory reset because it wouldn't even respond to basic words. After the reset, we could not find sufficient wifi to initialize Pepper so we connected it to one of our computers with a LAN cable and we were able to initialize her. However, after the initialization Pepper has been on the spinning colors screen and will not respond to any words (eyes are white with red on the outside and ears are blue) or tablet touches. I am trying to connect it to choreographe to I test it out but I don't even know what wifi to connect to in order to establish the connection because when I ask the robot "Pepper open settings" It doesn't react. 

In addition to this, I am looking into adding the programs so that when the robot boots up instead of going to the spinning circle screen there are apps on the front. I have no clue how to do this and have seen differing things online so if anyone could link me how to do that it would be greatly appreciated.

NAOv6 is probably not the right area for this question.

It sounds as if it is a Python Pepper, i.e. Pepper 2.5.

If the Pepper has been reset to factory settings, then Pepper is not running any software. This means that neither voice commands nor other actions can be carried out with Pepper.

At this point you have to develop your own software with Choregraphe. You should consult the documentation for NAOqi 2.5 -> http://doc.aldebaran.com/2-5/index_dev_guide.html

To call up the Pepper settings page, enter the IP address of Pepper in a browser and call it up.
Pepper will tell you the IP by a short press on the Chest button.
If Pepper is not yet connected to a Wifi network, the head can also be connected to a PC with a LAN cable.
