Do you mean the password that connects you to your wireless network?? AKA Wifi Password? If so this program will retrieve your password.

You should be able to get on your router's website; use 'admin' for the username and 'password' for the password; no ('). Your password should be shown.

Sorry for not being entirely clear. I'm talking about my Home Network (Microsoft Windows 10 local network that connects all the computers in our house/home to one another). Not my router to our server.

Oops, my apologies.

Steve

Are you using Homegroup or just password protected sharing?

Thanx, John, but that procedure is typical of "change your password" routines in that it asks for the current password prior to proceeding.

It also mentions shutting off all machines on the network and then on the main pc create a homegroup and generate a new password then one by one add the rest.Now this won't recover your password but it will create a new homegroup where you will now know the password as I don't think there is a reliable way of recovering your old one.

I googled and found this:

"Go to Control Panel > Network and Sharing Center > Homegroup .

Now under Other homegroup actions, click View or Print homegroup password. This will reveal your current homegroup password."

I don't have a homegroup so I can't confirm if this works. Sounds questionable to me but maybe it will.

Edit: Also, Nirlauncher - http://launcher.nirsoft.net/downloads/index.html - claims to have the ability to reveal the passwords. Unzip NirLauncber - nothing is installed - so it's portable if you wish - then go to the Password Recovery Utilities tab, and find/run Network Password Recovery. Again, I can't try this as I do not have a home network.

Oh, your AV program(s) may be alarmed while you unzip NirLauncher. Ignore the dire warnings and proceed. Nir is safe and well-respected.

Nirlauncher and another one I have set off Defender and I had to add it to exclusions a couple of times lol but they work on other passwords but I can't check the network password because I don't have one on my network.

I'm not sure what did it, but, running through all the great ideas you guys have posted, it's back to working properly. Many thanks@
