This is wrong. Going into Network and Sharing Center only shows you your current Ethernet connection, not wifi

 One time, I couldn't find Wi-Fi password, and I didn't want to bother looking for the router, so I decided to try to find it in the registry editor. Although I knew this method was a bit complicated, I was curious and tried it anyway.

First, I pressed Win + R to open the "Run" dialog box, then typed regedit and pressed Enter to open the registry editor. To be honest, I was a little nervous every time I opened the registry editor, because changing the wrong place could cause big problems.

Then, I navigated to the following path:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\NetworkList\Profiles

In this "Profiles" folder, there are many sub-items, each of which corresponds to a network I have connected to before. It took me some time to find Wi-Fi network password I wanted.

However, the problem is that although I found the corresponding network sub-item, there is no place in the registry that directly displays the password. I looked for a while and found that it mainly records the basic information and configuration of the network, not the password itself. In the end, I gave up the idea of ​​finding WIFI password from the registry, thinking that this method is too troublesome and risky.
