Cyta Wifi Password Finder
Are you still using the WiFi password that is written on the back of the router your ISP gave you? If so, it’s probably some really long combination of letters, numbers and symbols that you can never remember.Most people try to write the password down somewhere or simply check on the router every time they need to give it to someone else.
Your WiFi is probably just fine. Probably not, the WiFi that comes with Cyta modems/routers is almost always shite. After 3 generations of routers, their latest has reached a new low. Switch off the wifi from the settings and add an external router.
Luckily, if you already have a computer connected to your WiFi network, you can easily view the password there.I’ve already written about and in this article, I’m going to talk about doing the same thing in Windows. Note that the procedure is the same for Windows 7, 8 or 10. View WiFi Password in WindowsIn order to view the WiFi password on your Windows machine, you need to make sure you are already connected to the WiFi network or have previously connected to the WiFi network. If so, then go ahead and right-click on the WiFi icon in the system tray and choose Open Network and Sharing Center.Now go ahead and click on Change Adapter Settings in the left-hand menu.
Also, be sure to read my previous post if you want to. Find the icon for Wi-Fi, right-click on it and choose Status.This will bring up the WiFi Status dialog where you can see some basic information about your wireless network connection.Click on the Wireless Properties button and then click on the Security tab.Here you will see a text field called Network security key. Go ahead and check the Show characters box and you’ll now be able to see the WiFi security password.
Note that this is just the WiFi password of the currently connected WiFi network. What if you want to see the WiFi passwords for WiFi networks that your computer previously connected to?Luckily, that’s pretty easy too in Windows 7. In Windows 8 and 10, you have to use the command prompt, which is pretty annoying. Anyway, in Windows 7, open the Network and Sharing Center and then click on Manage Wireless Networks.You will now see a nice list of all the wireless networks that computer has ever connected to. Just double-click on the one you are interested in.Then just click on the Security tab and check the Show characters box again to see the password.In Windows 8 and 10, you have to open a command prompt by going to Start and typing in CMD. When the command prompt opens, type in the following command: netsh wlan show profilesYou’ll find all the wireless profiles listed under User Profiles.
The name of the WiFi network is on the right. In my case, I only have one WiFi network listed. Now to see the password for a profile, type in the following command: netsh wlan show profile name=profilename key=clearGo ahead and replace profilename with the actual name of the WiFi network listed from the previous command. In my case, the WiFi network is named VFTJM. You do not need to use quotes anywhere in the commands.When you run the second command, you’ll get a lot of output, but you are only interested in finding the line that starts with Key Content.
To the right will be the WiFi password. I’m not sure why Microsoft removed the convenience of seeing all your previously connected WiFi networks in Windows 8 and 10, but thankfully there is still a way to get all of the information. If you have any questions, feel free to comment.
If you’ve forgotten the WiFi password of your network or want to show it to someone else so he or she can connect to your network then you have two options. You can either show the WiFi password through the Network Center or you can use the netsh command in Command Prompt to show the password.In some cases depending on the security settings of your computer you will need to have Administrative Rights to show the passwords of the WiFi networks saved on your computer Find the WiFi Password in Windows 10The easiest method of finding the WiFi Password of your active connection is to use the Network Center in Windows 10. The Network Center shows all active connections including your WiFi one and makes accessing the properties of your current connections a lot easier.1. Click on the WiFi / Network icon in the taskbar and then choose Network and Sharing Center -or- Open Start and type Network and Sharing Center, then choose Network and Sharing Center. Wireless Network Password PhraseIf you don’t have this option then your connection might not be secured or your connection is using another way of verification who is trying to connect. Enterprises, for example, use Windows login information to verify who is trying to connect to their network and in most cases do not use a passphrase.
If you are trying to connect to a corporate network connection which does not use a password phrase then we suggest you contact the IT Department for more help.Alternative methodYou can also use netsh to see the password of your current or other network saved on your system. If you are familiar with Command Prompt and Shells then this might just feel better for you since it has more options then the Network and Sharing center does.
