How to Find WiFi Password Using Command Prompt

It's quite common to forget your WiFi password, especially when you rarely need to enter it. But fret not, there's a simple way to retrieve it using Command Prompt on Windows. Here's how:

  1. Open Command Prompt by typing 'cmd' in the Windows search bar and hitting Enter.
  2. In the Command Prompt window, type 'netsh wlan show profile' and press Enter. This will display a list of all the WiFi networks your computer has connected to.
  3. Locate the WiFi network name (SSID) for which you want to find the password, and then type 'netsh wlan show profile name=[WiFi SSID] key=clear' (replace [WiFi SSID] with the actual name) and press Enter.
  4. Scroll down to the Security settings, and under Key Content, you'll find the WiFi password in plain text.

Remember, only do this on your own computer or a network you have permission to access. Always prioritize security and keep your passwords safe!
