How to quickly view wireless network passwords under Windows 7 systems

How do I quickly view a wireless network password under a Windows 7 system? I believe many friends will use wireless network in various occasions, if you have forgotten the password of the wireless network connection, but also need to reload the system or inform colleagues, then will be quite troublesome, and distressed is windows XP does not provide the ability to view the wireless network connection password, and often has to use third-party software to see these passwords.

In fact, if you're using the Windows 7 operating system, it's easy to see the clear-text password for the wireless network, which can be said to be quite simple:

STEP1: Click on the Network icon in the system tray area, choose the Wireless network connection to view the password from the shortcut menu, right-click to select the connection, here may wait.

STEP2: Click the Network icon in the system tray area to locate the currently connected wireless network Connection from the shortcut menu, right-click the Select attribute. If you need to select a different wireless network connection, go to the Network and Share Center window, choose Manage wireless networks from the Navigation Pane on the left, right-click the appropriate wireless network connection, and select Properties from the shortcut menu.

STEP3: At this time will open the Wireless Network Properties dialog box, switch to the Security tab, the default settings here the network security key will only show a small dot, check the display word Fu box, we can see the plaintext password, is not very simple?

Of course, for those wireless networks that do not have encryption enabled, there is no need to use the above method to view the password. However, safety protection work is still to be done.
