How to Find Your WIFI Password when You Forgot It?
One easy and Simple Hack
Thanks for the request Valery,
To answer your question outright – there are a few ways and depending on if you connected prior or not.
As others have stated – logging into your routers web ui will allow you to review under the wireless →security tabs (generally).
Some routers – have capabilities with phone apps that allow you to adjust and review router config with a clean ui. IE: Netgear Genie.
Also – most routers have a wps button – and many devices can connect this way.. It auto fills the information for you.
Alternatively – lets say you connected to the ssid with your Windows pc.
You can get your password with the following steps.
Open cmd prompt
(In windows 10 you can click start → search for “cmd.exe”)
Best match should show Command Prompt
Once opened enter “netsh wlan show profile” (without “ “)
This will populate a list of all the networks you have recently connected to.
Find the Network SSID (Name) and write it down.
Next enter the following syntax “netsh wlan show profile WiFi-name key=clear”
Please note that the SSID you wrote down before you will enter at WIFI-Name.
IE. SSID = Thetimeisnow
Your syntax would be “netsh wlan show profile Thetimeisnow key=clear”
Reminder: Do not include “ “ with syntax when applying in cmd.
This will show your password
Below I have included a snippet of what output will look like
The red is where you will find your password.
Just a fun test – enter the show password command without “clear”
Do you see a difference?
Do you better understand the syntax after reviewing?
Again,
Thanks for the request!
Cheers.
