HOW2 LOCATE A FORGOTEN WIFI PASSWORD IN WINDOWS

If you've forgotten the Wi-Fi password on your Windows PC, you can retrieve it if you have connected to the network before. Here are the steps to find the forgotten Wi-Fi password:

1. **Viewing the Password for the Current Connection:**
- Open the "Settings" on your Windows PC.
- Go to "Network & Internet."
- Click on "Wi-Fi" on the left pane.
- Under "Wi-Fi," click on "Manage known networks."
- Select the Wi-Fi network for which you want the password.
- Click on "Properties."
- Check the box that says "Show characters" under "Network security key" to reveal the Wi-Fi password.

2. **Using Command Prompt:**
- Open Command Prompt with administrative privileges. You can do this by right-clicking on the Start button and selecting "Command Prompt (Admin)" or "Windows PowerShell (Admin)."
- Type the following command and press Enter:
```
netsh wlan show profiles
```
- Identify the Wi-Fi network for which you want the password and note its name.
- Now, type the following command, replacing "WiFiNetworkName" with the actual name of the Wi-Fi network:
```
netsh wlan show profile name="WiFiNetworkName" key=clear
```
- Look for the "Key Content" entry, which will display the Wi-Fi password.



Remember that accessing Wi-Fi passwords may require administrative privileges on your computer. Additionally, it's important to respect privacy and only retrieve passwords for networks that you have permission to access. If you are trying to retrieve the password for a network that you don't own or manage, it's best to contact the network administrator for assistance.
