您(Did)是否曾经发现自己需要 Wi-Fi 密码，但又忘记了密码？如果您在家中不知道您的无线密码，只是因为朋友或亲戚为您完成了所有(wireless password)网络配置(network configuration)并且没有告诉您密码，该怎么办？如何找到您的 Wi-Fi 密码？幸运的是，您可以通过多种方式学习它，本文将向您展示如何：
方法 1(Method 1)。使用控制面板(Control Panel)查找您的 Wi-Fi 密码
如果您有可以连接到无线网络的(wireless network)Windows 10 笔记本电脑或设备(laptop or device)，那么它还可以向您显示它使用的密码。您必须使用管理员帐户(administrator account)才能找到此信息。如果您没有管理员权限，请跳到本教程后面分享的下一个方法。
首先连接到您的无线网络(wireless network)。然后，打开控制面板(Control Panel)。然后，进入"Network and Internet" -> "Network and Sharing Center."
在网络和共享中心(Network and Sharing Center)中，在名为“查看您的活动网络("View your active networks)”的部分中查找您的活动无线(wireless network)网络。例如，我们的 Wi-Fi 网络称为Th3G33ks5。单击(Click)或点击显示在名为Connections的字段附近的网络名称。
此操作会显示一个名为“Wi-Fi 状态”("Wi-Fi Status")的窗口，其中包含有关您的无线连接(Connection)和活动(Activity)的详细信息。在连接(Connection)部分，单击或点击无线(Wireless) 属性(Properties)按钮。
这会触发另一个带有您的无线网络(wireless network)属性的窗口的启动。要查找您的无线连接密码(connection password)，请转到“安全(Security)”选项卡。在“安全”选项卡中，除了(Security)无线网络(wireless network)使用的“安全类型”("Security type")或“加密类型”("Encryption type")等其他信息外，您还有一个名为“网络安全密钥”的字段。("Network security key.")此字段保存您的 Wi-Fi 网络的密码。但是，默认情况下，密码的字符被隐藏并替换为黑点。要查看您的Wi-Fi 密码(Wi-Fi password)，请选中下方的“显示字符”选项("Show characters")“网络安全密钥”("Network security key")字段。Windows 10 会立即显示您的 Wi-Fi网络密码(network password)。
现在您知道了您的 Wi-Fi 密码，因此您可以将其复制或写在便利贴上，然后将其放在安全的地方。
方法二(Method 2)。使用命令提示符或 PowerShell(Command Prompt or PowerShell)查找您的 Wi-Fi 密码
一种快速方法涉及在命令提示符(Command Prompt)或PowerShell中使用一些命令，具体取决于您的喜好。命令是一样的。启动您喜欢的应用程序：
- 在Windows中启动PowerShell的 9 种方法（包括以管理员身份）
- 在Windows中启动(Windows)命令提示符(Command Prompt)的10 种方法
键入以下命令并按(command and press) Enter：netsh wlan show profiles。然后，您会看到一个列表，其中包含Windows保存的所有无线网络。
记下您想知道其密码的无线网络(wireless network)的确切名称。然后，键入以下命令并按(command and press) Enter 键(Enter)：netsh wlan show profile name=WIFINAME key=clear。将WIFINAME替换为您想知道其密码的无线网络(wireless network)的实际名称。然后，您会看到有关该网络的详细信息。查找显示无线密码的(wireless password)Key Content字段。
复制WiFi 密码(WiFi password)并根据需要使用它。
方法3(Method 3)。找到印在无线路由器上的(wireless router)Wi-Fi 密码(Wi-Fi password)
一些互联网服务提供商(Internet Service Providers)提供的WiFi路由器已经配置为使用带有默认密码的预定义无线网络。(wireless network)如果您的无线路由器(wireless router)是这种情况，并且您没有更改其原始设置，您可能会在无线路由器(wireless router)的背面或手册中找到您的无线网络的名称和密码。(wireless network)请注意，根据您的无线路由器(wireless router)的制造商和路由器的默认安全类型(default security type)，Wi-Fi 密码(Wi-Fi password)也可以称为安全密钥(security key)、无线密钥(wireless key)、WEP 密钥(WEP key)、WPA 或 WPA2 密钥(WPA or WPA2 key)。下面您可以看到一个无线路由器(wireless router)的示例，该路由器具有由Internet 服务提供商(Internet Service Provider)设置的预定义无线网络和密码(wireless network and password)：
方法4(Method 4)。使用无线路由器(wireless router)的管理界面(administration interface)查找您的 Wi-Fi 密码
如果以上方法都不适合您，则始终可以选择进入无线路由器(wireless router)的管理界面(administration interface)搜索密码。要使此方法起作用，您需要有一个已连接到网络和路由器的设备。您可以使用任何台式电脑、笔记本电脑、平板电脑甚至智能手机。在该设备上，打开网络浏览器(web browser)并在地址栏中输入(bar enter)路由器的IP 地址(IP address)。大多数路由器的IP 地址(IP address)是 192.168.0.1 或 192.168.1.1。但是，这取决于路由器的制造商和路由器的型号。如果以上IP 地址都(IP address)不起作用(es work)，那么您应该在路由器手册、制造商网站或路由器背面的贴纸上查找路由器的默认IP 地址。(IP address)
当您加载路由器的管理界面(administration interface)时，它可能会询问您的用户名和密码(username and password)。如果发生这种情况，您必须输入它们才能访问其配置。如果您没有更改路由器的凭据，则用户名和密码(username and password)可能是admin/admin、admin/1234或路由器制造商设置的任何内容。如果您不知道默认的用户名和密码(default username and password)，您应该在路由器手册中找到它们或印在路由器底部。
连接到无线路由器(wireless router)的配置网页(configuration web page)后，查找名为无线、无线设置、无线安全或(security or anything)类似内容的部分。这也取决于您的路由器制造商决定如何命名它。一旦你找到它，你也找到了你的无线网络(wireless network)的密码。以下是 TP-Link 路由器上无线(Wireless)部分的示例：
此外，这是华硕路由器上(ASUS router)无线(Wireless)部分的外观。请注意，在这种情况下，华硕(ASUS)不使用Password或WiFi Password的名称，而是将密码命名为“WPA Pre-Shared Key”。
你(Did)找到你的无线网络(wireless network)的密码了吗？
正如您从本文中看到的那样，即使您不记得自己的 Wi-Fi 网络密码，它也不会丢失，只要按照正确的步骤进行操作，您就可以找到它。无论您更喜欢使用 Windows 10 设备、访问无线路由器(wireless router)的配置网页(configuration web page)还是查看路由器底部，这些方法之一都应该有效。如果您知道其他查找忘记的无线密码(wireless password)的方法，请在下面的评论表中告诉我们。
4 ways to learn your WiFi password in Windows 10, when you forget it
Did you ever find yourself in a situation in which you need your Wi-Fi password, bυt you cannot remember it? What if you never knew your wireless password at hоme, just because a friend or a relative did all your network configuration аnd did not tell you the password? What can you do to find your Wi-Fi password? Fortunatеly, therе are several ways in which уou can learn it, and this article shows you how:
Method 1. Find your Wi-Fi password using the Control Panel
If you have a Windows 10 laptop or device that can connect to a wireless network, then it can also show you the password it uses. You have to use an administrator account to be able to find this information. If you do not have administrator rights, then skip to the next methods shared later in this tutorial.
Start by connecting to your wireless network. Then, open the Control Panel. Then, go to "Network and Internet" -> "Network and Sharing Center."
In Network and Sharing Center look for your active wireless network, inside the section called "View your active networks." For instance, our Wi-Fi network is called Th3G33ks5. Click or tap on the name of your network shown near the field called Connections.
This action displays a window called "Wi-Fi Status" with details about your wireless Connection and Activity. In the Connection section, click or tap the Wireless Properties button.
This triggers the launch of yet another window with the properties of your wireless network. To find your wireless connection password, go to the Security tab. In the Security tab, among other information like the "Security type" or the "Encryption type" used by the wireless network, you also have a field called "Network security key." This field holds the password of your Wi-Fi network. However, by default, the characters of the password are hidden and replaced with black dots. To see your Wi-Fi password, check the option "Show characters" found below the "Network security key" field. Windows 10 immediately displays your Wi-Fi network password.
Now you know your Wi-Fi password, so you can copy it or write it down on a post-it, and put it somewhere safe.
Method 2. Find your Wi-Fi password using Command Prompt or PowerShell
A quick method involves using a few commands in Command Prompt or PowerShell, depending on what you prefer. The commands are the same. Start the app you prefer:
Type the following command and press Enter: netsh wlan show profiles. Then, you see a list with all the wireless networks saved by Windows.
Note the exact name of the wireless network for which you want to know the password. Then, type the following command and press Enter: netsh wlan show profile name=WIFINAME key=clear. Replace WIFINAME with the actual name of the wireless network for which you want to know the password. Then, you are shown detailed information about that network. Look for the Key Content field which displays the wireless password.
Copy the WiFi password and use it as you need.
Method 3. Find the Wi-Fi password printed on your wireless router
Some Internet Service Providers offer WiFi routers that are already configured to use predefined wireless networks with default passwords. If that is the case with your wireless router, and you did not change its original settings, you might find the name and the password of your wireless network printed on the back of the wireless router or inside its manual. Note that, depending on your wireless router's manufacturer and the default security type of the router, the Wi-Fi password can also be referred to as security key, wireless key, WEP key, WPA or WPA2 key. Below you can see an example of a wireless router that has a predefined wireless network and password set by the Internet Service Provider:
Method 4. Find your Wi-Fi password using the wireless router's administration interface
If none of the above methods work for you, there is always the option of entering your wireless router's administration interface to search for the password. For this method to work, you need to have a device that is already connected to the network and your router. You can use any desktop PC, laptop, tablet or even a smartphone. On that device, open a web browser and inside the address bar enter the IP address of the router. The IP address of most routers is 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1. However, this depends on your router's manufacturer and your router's model. If none of the above IP addresses work, then you should look for your router's default IP address in its manual, on the manufacturer's website, or on a sticker on the back of the router.
When you load your router's administration interface, it probably asks you for your username and password. If that happens, you must enter them, to access its configuration. If you did not change your router's credentials, the username and password might be admin/admin, admin/1234 or whatever the router's manufacturer set. If you do not know the default username and password, you should find them in the router's manual or printed on the bottom of the router.
Once you have connected to your wireless router's configuration web page, look for a section called wireless, wireless settings, wireless security or anything similar. This also depends on how your router's manufacturer decided to name it. Once you find it, you have also found your wireless network's password. Here's an example of how the Wireless section looks like on a TP-Link router:
Also, here's how the Wireless section looks like on an ASUS router. Note that, in this case, ASUS does not use the name of Password or WiFi Password, and instead, it names the password "WPA Pre-Shared Key."
Did you find the password of your wireless network?
As you have seen from this article, even if you do not remember the password of your Wi-Fi network, it is not lost, and you can find it if you follow the right steps. Whether you prefer using your Windows 10 device, access your wireless router's configuration web page or looking at the bottom of your router, one of these methods should work.
