WLAN Profile

There comes a time when users like yourself forget your own WiFi password. This happens more commonly than you think. With WiFi routers running nonstop and WiFi connections establishing themselves automatically, there’s very little reason why you’d recall a complicated WiFi password.
Some users wind up using secure passwords consisting of random characters which are very easy to forget. Others just keep using the random one given to them by their ISP.
Either way, there’s no need to panic yet. WLAN profiles are created whenever users enter WiFi credentials and establish a new connection. The profile of that WiFi includes essential information like the network name, settings, and password.
We’re going to tap into these network profiles through the command prompt. This method will work regardless if you’re currently connected to the WiFi network you’re trying to gain access to or not. However, your computer had to have connected to that WiFi network at some previous point at least once.

Using CMD to Find the WiFi Password

Here’s how to find the WiFi password using the command prompt:
Open the command prompt by opening Run (Windows + R) and typing CMD. Hit Enter.


Type the following command line and hit Enter:

NETSH WLAN SHOW PROFILE

You will see a list of WLAN profiles stored on the PC. Take note of the network name you’d like to explore.


Type the following command and replace “WIFI” with the network name.

NETSH WLAN SHOW PROFILE "WIFI"


Type the following command and replace “WIFI” with the network name.

NETSH WLAN SHOW PROFILE WIFI KEY=CLEAR

Completing these steps successfully will bring up the WLAN profile of the network you want to connect to. Scroll down and you’ll find the password under the Key Content field.
