Change the password. Give it to who you WANT connected with the warning that if any of the undesired people get access EVERYBODY looses internet privileges for some amount of time. That will incentivize them to not share your password.

Changing the password would be the most effective means.

If the users are unsophisticated, you could look in your router configuration at connected devices and block the MAC address of their device in the router MAC address blocking. This would be trivial to overcome if the user knows anything, as they can simply change their MAC address with a simple free tool.
