4 Ways To Recover Forgotten WiFi Password

Home » Computer and Internet Security » WiFi Security

How to figure out the Router’s WiFi password? You’re at your girlfriend or parent’s place and they forgot the wireless WiFi’s password. How do you crack your own security enabled wireless network? The good news is, we’ve all been there and Microsoft knows this as well. You don’t have to be a hacker, forget about cracks or hacking tools, you don’t have to access the router to reveal hidden asterisk *** characters.

Now, do note that these methods are perfectly legal, however, it is illegal to do so without permission or to perform it on other people’s computer just to use their WiFi without their knowledge. If you forgot your Wi-Fi network password, you can find it if you have another Windows PC already connected to your Wi-Fi network. After you find your password, you can use it on another PC or device to connect to your Wi-Fi network.

If you need the default security key or password for your wireless router, contact your Internet service provider or router manufacturer.

Look for the following terms Security Key, Wireless Key, WPA Key, WPA2 Key and WEP Key.

2. Nirsoft WirelessKeyView

WirelessKeyView

Where is my wifi password? WirelessKeyView recovers all wireless network security keys/passwords (WEP/WPA) stored in your computer by the ‘Wireless Zero Configuration’ service of Windows XP or by the ‘WLAN AutoConfig’ service of Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10, and Windows Server 2008.

It allows you to easily save all keys to text/html/xml file, or copy a single key to the clipboard. You can also export your wireless keys into a file and import these keys into another computer. NOTE: Antivirus might block this software due to false positives, this software doesn’t come with viruses, it is clean. Works great on Microsoft Windows 10.

      here here i was wondering when someone would speak up and say something, i agree that is why i put a password on my network so ppl like this dont steal my upload and download hours, we pay money to have the internet and everytime the neighbours decided they wanted to use ours for free my service provider slowed us right down which stopped us from being able to get on the internet until our next billing cycle. It was so slow it was worse then dial up. So yes ppl stop stealing from your neighbours wi-fi and go pay for your own.

    come on guys so thick use your brain win7 win7 64bit as a run in compatibility mode how to do this easy

    when you have downloaded the file unzip or unrar if needed first or if its an exe right click the file go to propertys then the file property opens then look at the top you will see tabs General/Compatibility/Details click the (Compatibility) to open it then the top window that says windowsXP sp3 tick the box were it says run this program in compatibility mode for xp then at the bottom tick Privilege Level so it runs as an administrator then click Apply then ok then refresh the window were the file is then just click it and whola program is running you can do that with a lot of programs that are made for win xp ok doods works no problems win7 64 bit in compatibility mode win xp 3 :)
    ———————————————————————————-
    As of yet there is no program that will crack or reveal the (wpa/2-psk) password as it is 256 bit encryption WEP is the only part of it you can crack the rest you mite as when go and pay your next door neighbor a tenner and get the password off her and you will be able to use wifi of her for a tenner guys i dont think wpa/2-psk cracking software will be out for a while yet but will keep you informed if an do come out ok sorry but thats how it is for now guys :)
