- Open Command Prompt as Administrator:
- Press Windows + X and choose Command Prompt (Admin) or Windows PowerShell (Admin).
- List All WiFi Profiles:
- Run the command:
netsh wlan show profiles
- View Saved Password for a Specific Profile:
- Enter:
netsh wlan show profile name="WiFi-Network-Name" key=clear
- Replace WiFi-Network-Name with the actual name of the WiFi network.
- Look under Security settings for Key Content, which displays the password.
This approach shows the existing passwords in clear text for the saved WiFi networks. If you do not see the password or receive a blank section under Key Content, make sure you have the necessary administrative permissions to execute the command.
