Have you ever forgotten your WiFi password, but your computer still remembers it? In this video, we'll show you how to use CMD (Command Prompt) on Windows to retrieve your saved WiFi password.
First, we'll explain the prerequisite for this method: you must have previously connected to the network and saved the password on your computer. If you meet this requirement, follow along with the steps in the video to retrieve your password.
Step 1: Open CMD by pressing the Windows key + R and typing "cmd" in the Run dialog box. (Run as administrator)
Step 2: In CMD, type "netsh wlan show profile" and press Enter. This command will show you a list of all the WiFi networks that your computer has previously connected to.
Step 3: Find the name of the network that you want to find the password for and type "netsh wlan show profile [network name] key=clear" and press Enter. Replace [network name] with the actual name of the network.
Step 4: Scroll down to the "Security settings" section of the output and look for the "Key Content" field. The value of this field is the WiFi password for the network.
It's important to note that accessing someone else's WiFi network without their permission is illegal and unethical. This method is intended for retrieving your own forgotten password.
