If you've forgotten your WiFi password, here are some legitimate ways to find WiFi password on Windows 10 or reset it:
1. Check Your Router: Many routers have the default WiFi password printed on a label.
2. Find WiFi Passwords on Windows 10:
- Open Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network and Sharing Center.
- Click on your WiFi network, then select Wireless Properties.
- Go to the Security tab and click Show Characters. Your saved password will be displayed.
3. Reset Your Router: If all else fails, you can reset your router to factory settings (usually via a physical reset button), which will reset the WiFi password to default.
If you're trying to connect to a network you don't own or don't have permission to access, please respect privacy and security policies. Before making changes, it’s good to backup your current network settings, just in case.
