Win7 How do I see the wifi password stored in the system?

Many users have forgotten the dilemma of the WiFi password, but these passwords are often stored in the computer, so many users want to "retrieve" the wireless network password through the computer. However, we can not see the password directly on the surface, so this requires us to take some means to query.

Of course, some third-party tools seem to be able to view these things, but the IT house does not recommend that you use these tools, for security reasons you know ... Whether it is win7/win8.1 or Win10, you can view the WiFi password without any tools, following these steps:

　　Method one: Control Panel query

1. Find "Network and Sharing Center" in Control Panel

There are many ways to get there, such as right click start button → control Panel → Network and internet→ network and Sharing Center, or right click on the taskbar Network icon, select "Network and Sharing Center"

2, click on the left "Change adapter settings" (pictured above)

3. Double-click the connected wireless connection (pictured above)

4, in the pop-up "WLAN Status" window click "Wireless Properties" (pictured above)

5, click the "Security" tab, check "Display characters" (pictured above)

Then you can see the current WiFi connection password. Another approach is to query all the WiFi connection passwords using the command prompt tool as follows:

1, right-click the Start button, select the command prompt (administrator)

2, enter the following command (the following figure ① command):

　　Netsh wlan show profiles

▲ The password will be given in the "key content" below, no longer listed in this diagram

3, in the given once used WiFi connection to select the name of the connection you want to query, and then set the following command (above ② command) query password:

　　Netsh wlan show profile name= "Connection name" Key=clear

Note the space in the above command, the symbol do not use Chinese, the text "connection name" three words to replace the query to the connection name.

4, you can also use the following command directly query all the used connection password:

　　Netsh wlan show profile * Key=clear

Note that the space before and after the wildcard character "*" should not be omitted.

Use these two methods to query the current windows7/windows 8.1/WINDOWS10 computer is using the WiFi connection password and the use of the WiFi connection password, users need these content in the query to their own and friends and relatives of mobile phones, tablets, Laptops and other devices are convenient for connecting WiFi.
