Now, you will see a new window called WiFi Status: click on Properties, go to the Security tab, then check the box marked Show characters (you will need administrator privileges), and voila! There's the password that you've been looking for.

At the top of this new window is a section called 'active connections' ( View your active connections), and in the right-side column there's the line Connections with a name written in blue following it click on the blue name. In the Control Panel window, select the Network and Internet section, then click on the Network Sharing Center button, and a new window should open. The first thing that you need to do is get to the Control Panel, and the quickest way to get there is by right-clicking the Start Menu and pressing the corresponding button. I'm going to show you how to see the WiFi password saved in Windows 10, but the procedure is very similar to the one used for Windows 7, 8 and 8.1, so you shouldn't have too much trouble if you're using one of those operating systems.
