Did you forget one of your WiFi passwords? Do you want it right away? Well, don't worry in this article we'll discuss how to find a WiFi password in windows using the command prompt. It is very easy to find out the Wi-Fi password using a few CMD commands.
We may use the commands to further optimise our own WiFi network, including activating features like mac randomization and modifying the WiFi's radio type.
When we enter the password to join a WiFi network, we actually create a WLAN profile of that WiFi network. Along with the other necessary WiFi profile information, that profile is stored on our computer.
How to find the WiFi Password using Command Prompt in Windows?
Start by pressing "Windows + R" to open the run window. From there, type "cmd" in the box and then select the "OK" button.
This will open the command prompt application. In the next step, we want to about all the WiFi network profiles which are stored on the computer. So to do that, type the following command in the command prompt and hit the enter button.
netsh wlan show profiles
This command will display all the WiFi networks profiles that are stored on our computer.
In the above picture, I have blacked some user's WiFi networks profiles. So our target is to get the password of "iPhone". To do that, type the following command in the command prompt and hit the enter button.
netsh wlan show profile name = "WiFi name" key = clear
Here the command will be like:
netsh wlan show profile name = "iPhone" key = clear
This command will display all the details/information about the WiFi network.
In the security setting section you can see 'key content' and in that 'key content you'll be able to see the password of that particular WiFi network.
Congratulations, you have learned how to find out anyone's WiFi password using the command prompt in windows. I hope you have learned something new. Happy coding!
