Thanks, this worked! I'm now connected to my network.

These are the exact steps I did in case someone wants to fix the same thing:
 - $ sudo service network-manager stop
 - $ sudo nano /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/<SSID>
 - Change the value of the `psk` key in the `wifi-security` section.
 - $ sudo service network-manager start

The second option didn't work as `adb pull` was complaining about 
invalid permission, but it's the first time I used my Ubuntu device this 
way so I might have skipped a necessary step.
