To find the Wi-Fi password of your current network, you can follow these methods depending on your device and operating system:
### Method 1: Finding Wi-Fi Password on Windows
1. **Using Network Settings:**
– Right-click on the Wi-Fi icon in the system tray (bottom-right corner).
– Select “Open Network & Internet settings.”
– Click on “Network and Sharing Center.”
– Click on your current Wi-Fi network name.
– In the new window, click on “Wireless Properties.”
– Go to the “Security” tab.
– Check the box “Show characters” to reveal the Wi-Fi password.
2. **Using Command Prompt:**
– Open Command Prompt with administrative privileges.
– Type `netsh wlan show profiles` and press Enter to list all Wi-Fi networks.
– Identify your network name and type `netsh wlan show profile name=”YourNetworkName” key=clear` (replace “YourNetworkName” with your Wi-Fi network name).
– Look for the “Key Content” field to find the Wi-Fi password.
### Method 2: Finding Wi-Fi Password on macOS
1. **Using Keychain Access:**
– Go to Applications > Utilities > Keychain Access.
– In Keychain Access, search for your Wi-Fi network name.
– Double-click on the Wi-Fi network name entry.
– Check the box “Show password” and enter your macOS administrator password when prompted.
– The Wi-Fi password should be displayed.
### Method 3: Finding Wi-Fi Password on Android
1. **Using Router Settings (if you have access):**
– Open a web browser and enter your router’s IP address (usually something like 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1).
– Log in with your router’s username and password (usually admin/admin).
– Navigate to the wireless settings section where you can find the Wi-Fi password.
### Method 4: Finding Wi-Fi Password on iOS (iPhone/iPad)
1. **Using iCloud Keychain (if synced):**
– Go to Settings > [Your Name] > iCloud > Keychain (make sure it’s turned on).
– On a Mac with macOS Catalina or later, you can use the Passwords section in System Preferences to find the Wi-Fi password synced via iCloud Keychain.
2. **Using a Jailbroken iPhone:**
– If your device is jailbroken, you might find apps or tweaks in Cydia that allow you to view saved Wi-Fi passwords.
### General Tips:
– **Router Sticker:** Sometimes, the Wi-Fi password is printed on a sticker on the router itself.
– **Resetting Router:** If all else fails, you can reset your router to factory settings, but this will delete all custom settings including Wi-Fi passwords.
These methods should help you retrieve the Wi-Fi password for your current network depending on your device and access rights.
