  1. wifi password


    I am trying to find my wifi password, but am not able to find it.

    the instructions given to me were:





    Find your Wi-Fi password in Windows

    Great! I can help you find your Wi-Fi password. Follow these steps:

    1. Select Start > Settings > Network and Internet > Network and Sharing Center
    1. Under the View your active networks tab, look for the network you’re connected to. Select the blue link next to Connections.
    1. Select Wireless Properties in the pop-up window.
    1. When the new pop-up window opens, navigate to the Security tab.
    1. Check the box next to Show characters, and your Wi-Fi password will appear in the Network security key field.



    I got to the network and sharing center, but, there was not View your active networks tab in the Network and sharing center tab.

    so, how do I find my wifi password?

    :)

    Help with changing wifi password?


    No. That will NOT change your WiFi password. The router administration password and WiFi password are two completely different passwords.

    That section is for the password you enter to get into the routers settings. You need to go to your WiFi or wireless settings page, look for the security options, and the WiFi password will be listed as either Password, or Key, or WPA Key.

    On my router it's the Password (Network Key) block:

    So are you saying that I should enter my "PW" into the field and then I will get to the wifi or wireless settings page?
