Hi,

Try Factory resetting it and then setting it up again for your new WiFi network.

It happened to me long time ago. I think you have to reset your chromecast. I think it's your phone that detect chromecast device and send the Wi-Fi password to chromecast device. If you change your password, chromecast won't know it and you have to reset the connection with your network. The only way is to reset chromecast device. Go in google home app, choose the chromecast device, click on the parameters gear(up right) and click the red button "remove device".

By reset, I mean disconnect and reconnect the chromecast.  You have to use google home app. This app will list all Google device you connected to your google account, like Google nest, security camera and any chromecast device.

Once the device disconnected from the network, you add a new one just like a brand new chromecast. You will have to the same step like the first time you connected it.
