How To Recover Wireless Network Password In Windows Using WirelessKeyView

WiFi passwords are a bit hard to remember, given that they are required to be of 10 characters in length. In Windows XP, and Windows Vista, you cannot view the set password in characters. So if you have lost or forgotten the Wireless Network password, you need a third party tool to hack wifi password.

Unlike Windows XP/Vista, Windows 7 lets you recover the WiFi passwords, thus not needing any external utility.

Here is how you can get back your lost wifi key in XP/Vista using WirelessKeyView, a portable freeware application.

First download and run the program (download link given below). Since it’s a standalone utility, there is no installation.

The program shows all the WEP/WPA wifi passwords stored on your computer, along with details such as Wireless SSID (network name), type of the WiFi key, the wireless key in both Hex and Ascii values.
