Sometimes for what reason you want to reveal the password(s) of the Wi-Fi networks or mobile Hotspots that are connected to your laptop or pc but it almost seems impossible to you to have the passwords show on your PC.

If that’s what you’re looking for, to be able to know the password of the Wi-Fi network or mobile  Hotspot that is connected to your laptop then let’s dig straight into that.

 

In this short article we’re going to look at two effective methods that you can use to get the password of any Wi-Fi network or mobile Hostpot that is connected to your laptop or computer. So let’s get started with the first method right away.

 

The first method makes use of the command prompt and we’re going to type only two commands away to get the password of the Wi-Fi network revealed.

 

First open the command prompt. If you don’t know where to find the command prompt just type cmd on your Windows search.

 

 

Type in or copy and paste this command in your command prompt and hit the Enter Key on your keyboard.

===   netsh wlan show profiles  ====

 

Note: Copy excluding the equal signs

 

 

This command will show the Wi-Fi networks connected to your PC. This include all the networks that are preciously and currently connected to your PC.

 

Now that you have all the Wi-Fi networks shown on the command prompt we will move to the next step to reveal the password of any of them.

 

Type in or copy and paste the second command. Type the Wi-Fi name that you want to show the password. Don’t commit a typo with the Wi-Fi name.  Type in the Wi-Fi name inside the double quote (replace the ENTER NETWORK NAME HERE with your Wi-Fi name).

 

=== netsh wlan show profile name = "ENTER NETWORK NAME HERE" key=clear | find "Key Content" ===

 For example,

 

netsh wlan show profile name = "SPARK" key=clear | find "Key Content"  where SPARK is my Wi-Fi name connected to my laptop.

 

Hit the Enter Key when you’re done.  You will have the Wi-Fi password shown in the command prompt like this.

The key content is the Wi-Fi password.

 

This method will work for you but if you still want to try an alternative method then let’s move to the second method.

 

But before we start this method I want to remind you that this method can only be used to find the password of the Wi-Fi networks that are currently connected to your PC or are active.

 

Open the settings app on your PC and click on Network and internet at the left panel.

 

Scroll to the bottom and click on advance network settings.

 

 

Scroll down once again to the bottom and under related settings click on ‘more network adaptor options’.

You should see the available Wi-Fi networks that are connected to your PC. Right click on the Wi-Fi network that you want to show the password and select ‘status’.

 Click on wireless properties and click on security at the top.

Finally check the box to show Wi-Fi password. And that’s it! You should have the Wi-Fi password shown to you just like mind here.
