How to Find WiFi Password Stored on Windows Using CMD

How to Find WiFi Password Stored on Windows Using CMD - In the previous article, Geekswarrior.com has discussed a tutorial on how to find out the wifi password stored on Windows.

In this article, I will discuss the same material, namely how to find out the wifi password stored in Windows through CMD with the netsh command.

Netsh is a utility or tool in Windows that is used to change network configuration, this tool is a command that can be run through a command prompt (CMD).

One of the uses of the Netsh command is that it can be used to delete the WiFi profile on Windows, I have discussed it in the following article (Read : How to remove wifi network on windows).
In addition, we can also display password information on wifi profiles stored in Windows with the netsh command.

How to find a wifi password using netsh command

To check the wifi password with the netsh command, you must open the CMD window first, the way is by pressing the combination key "Windows + R", then type "cmd" in the run column, then press enter.

If the CMD window is already open, type the following command to display the existing wifi profile.
netsh wlan show profile
