Board index » Windows Vista » how to view password for network

Windows Vista38
Can't find how to do this, so hope someone can help. I've lost my password

for the wi-fi network I connect to daily. Will be using a different computer

soon, and need the password for this network, but I cannot view my password,

only the network name. Can anybody give me simple instructions on how to view

my password for the network? I'm a bit challenged on this one!

Thanks

This would usually be a matter of logging onto your router or wireless

access point, usually by typing something like 192.168.1.1 into your

browser's address bar, logging on. There would then typically be a security

page which would show the password or allow you to change it.



Otherwise there is probably a switch on the wireless device itself which

will reset it to factory settings, check the manual for instructions on how

to do that.

Contact the administrator help desk responsible

for the Wi-Fi network.
