If you're not being able to find saved WiFi password on Windows 11 or 10 PC, try this way:
- Find the router's IP address: Generally, you can find the default IP on the back of the router, or you can press Win + R on the computer, enter cmd to open the command prompt, enter ipconfig, and look at the IP of the "default gateway", such as 192.168.1.1.
- Log in to the router background: Enter the IP address you just found in the browser and enter the router login page. You need a username and password when logging in. Many times there is a default account password on the back of the router (if you have not changed it).
- Check WiFi settings: After successfully logging in, find the "Wireless Settings" or "WiFi Settings" option. Here, you can directly see the WiFi password, and some routers allow you to modify it directly.
This method is very direct. If you have administrative privileges on the router, retrieving the WiFi password is easy. This is how I regained the WiFi password, and I hope it will be helpful to you too!
