A few days ago, we showed you how to connect to a Wi-Fi network with Windows 10, a very simple process that requires minimal technical knowledge. Windows 10 has focused on making menus much more intuitive and user-friendly compared to previous versions of this operating system.
Over time, you'll likely accumulate a large number of Wi-Fi networks saved on your device. These passwords are stored on your PC, and you can delete them if you know you won't be using that connection anymore —perhaps because you've changed routers, it was a friend's house, or it was simply a client's house and you don't want to keep the password.
But on other occasions, we may have changed our router's password, the one that comes by default on the bottom of the device, so that thieves cannot access it using password dictionaries , which are mainly based on the SSID name used by the routers of the main companies that provide internet.
If you find yourself in this situation and want to recover your router password , either to give it to a friend or because you need to enter it on another computer, below we show you the process to recover it.
Recover password of our Wi-Fi network with Windows 10
- First of all we must click on the icon of the Wi-Fi connection of our PC.
- In the side menu, click on See Network connections.
- Once we locate our connection, click on the right button to access the properties of the wireless network.
- Two services will be shown below: Connection and Security. In the second, we will find the password for our Wi-Fi network.
Keep in mind that from here we cannot change it, but it is simply information. In order to change it, we must go to the router and modify it from there, but we must bear in mind that once we change it, we must change it on all devices connected to the same network.
