How to Retrieve WiFi Password from Windows 10 Computer

Forgetting your WiFi password can be frustrating, but fear not, there are ways to retrieve it from your Windows 10 computer. One of the simplest methods is using the Command Prompt.

To retrieve your WiFi password, follow these steps:

  1. Open Command Prompt by typing 'cmd' in the search bar and selecting 'Run as administrator'.
  2. In the Command Prompt window, type 'netsh wlan show profile' to display a list of all the saved WiFi networks.
  3. Choose the network you want the password for and type 'netsh wlan show profile name=NETWORKNAME key=clear' (replace 'NETWORKNAME' with the actual network name).
  4. Look for the 'Key Content' field to find the WiFi password.

This method allows you to retrieve your WiFi password without any third-party software. However, if you prefer a more user-friendly approach, you can use third-party tools like WiFi Password Revealer or WiFi Password Viewer.
