Find WiFi Password

More than a few times now I have had to look up how to find the password for a WiFi network saved on my laptop.  It always takes a while to find a website that accurately/correctly tells the steps.  So, here they are so I can find them again:

  1. Start
  2. Type CMD
  3. Right click on “Command Prompt” an select “Run as Administrator”
  4. To get the names of all saved networks: netsh wlan show profiles
  5. To get the password: netsh wlan show profile name=”name_of_network” key=clear

This will then show the contents of the saved keys, including the password.
