How to Find Your Forgotten Wi-Fi Password
2
Find your Wi-Fi password on your router or its
documents

• If you didnt change the password even once after
  setting up your router, then possibly you may
  find the password by checking your Wi-Fi router
  and documents. Users who have changed their
  password recently or after owning the router,
  skip this method, and try the other ones.
• Check your routers body
• Most manufacturers provide the routers password
  on the routers body. They stick a small sticker
  on the back or bottom panel of the routers case
  that has routers password written on it. Find
  the label on your router or look for the SSID
  code as sometimes the password is also given near
  it.
• Check your routers manual or packing box
• Although fewer people keep these items safe. In
  case you also have kept your routers packing box
  or manual safe, then you should check them. Look
  if there is any sticker on the packing box and
  also check the manual book thoroughly. Some
  manuals have included a separate card find if the
  password is given onto it.

Use your Windows PC to find your Wi-Fi password

• With this method, you can only find the password
  if your PC is connected to the Wi-Fi network
  whose password youve forgotten. In addition,
  your computer should only be connected to the
  network wirelessly, not through the Ethernet
  cable. Youll see a Wi-Fi icon at the left

  wirelessly.

  connected with and whose password you want to
  find.

  select the Wi-Fi network and click on View
  status of this connection in the menu underneath
  the address bar.
