I like a video on the same topic from Geeks Tutorial on Youtube.
Here’s what you need to do:
- Open Windows Search and type Notepad
- Right-click the Notepad icon
- Click Run as Administrator
- ▼Command lines Mentioned on this video ▼
1:46
Just go ahead and right click on command prompt and choose run as administrator.
1:50
If you didn’t choose run as
1:51
administrator on the right click menu!
1:54
The commend prompt will not gonna launch with admin rights
1:56
or administrative privileges, may result the method failure
2:01
That’s why i insist you need to pay close attention!
2:03
Now you can see something pops up, like a black box,
2:07
on the desktop, which is the Command Prompt itself.
2:10
Now it’s time to begin the password hunt
2:12
or the password finding process! Just enter this commend line to the Command Prompt
2:17
which is “netsh wlan show profiles”.
2:20
You can copy this command and paste it to the Command Prompt directly.
2:23
you will find this command line on the video description below as well.
2:27
So that you can go there and do it right away,
2:29
and.. for now I’m going to type it in directly
2:35
and it’s done. Now hit the enter key on your keyboard!
2:38
Now you will see all the WiFi network profiles or hotspot that we showed you earlier!
2:43
So pick your one, that you need to find the password for!
2:46
And for that just right click anywhere inside the Command Prompt,
2:50
and from the right click menu! Choose “Mark”
2:52
Now you can mark or select the WiFi network you need,
2:55
then hit Ctrl + C keys to copy it!
2:58
Now you need to type in another command line here,
3:01
that is “netsh wlan show profile”, not show profiles!
3:05
Now hit space and paste the WiFi profile name, that we copied earlier,
3:10
and you can do it by hitting the Ctrl + V keys on your keyboard.
3:14
Now again hit space key, then type “key=clear”
3:17
without any space
3:19
and finely press enter.
3:21
Boom! Here is your WiFi Password! I know you are struggling to find it!
3:25
Believe it or not, it is right in front of your eyes, besides the “key content”
3:29
So that’s how you can find any WiFi password on your computer.
3:33
By using this method even you can find your neighbours or friends WiFi password,
3:38
but it must be connected with your device at least a single time
3:41
before you trying this method.
3:43
But we are not recommend using others WiFi password without their permission
3:47
as I said before!
3:49
or you can use it for finding your own WiFi’s password, like
3:52
there are some peoples, who doesn’t want to remember there password
3:55
for those guys it will really do a great help, especially, if they wanted to
4:00
get a new device to connected with their existing WiFi networks.
4:03
So that’s how you can find any WiFi password.
