Without constant high-speed Internet access in the modern world, staying connected to the Internet via your computer or phone at home or at work is essential. But if there is a router and wifi in the room where you are, you can't connect because you don't know the password and you can't ask anyone. There are several ways to find out your Wi-Fi password if you forgot it or can't connect for other reasons. In this article, we will look at the main ways to solve this problem in this situation.

So, we will tell you how to remember your Internet password on the Windows system, starting with seven and above, and how to view the password of all networks that have been saved on the device.

We will also tell you what to do in a situation if one device (phone, tablet, computer) has the Internet, but you need to connect to another device, and the password is lost or forgotten. And we will tell you how to find out your password if you have a router at hand.

### router password
This method of displaying the Wi-Fi password can be useful if you remember exactly that you did not change the standard password as soon as you bought and connected the router. Also, the standard password from the router is often left for the Internet, which is connected in a rented apartment. This is done so that the next tenant can easily connect to the Internet, and the owner does not have to explain the password.

Therefore, if you drove to a new apartment, and the owner did not tell you the Internet pin, then first try to find the password on the router. It's worth noting that not all routers have a written password; this mostly works with newer models.

Usually, the PIN code by which you can connect to the router consists of 8 digits. They are printed on the back of the router on a label that also contains service information and the serial number. Take a good look at it. There should be the word PIN on the label, followed by numbers.

### Code saved on PC
If you have a laptop at hand with a saved password, and the laptop connects to the Internet without any problems and does it automatically, then it is possible that you forgot the password on this network a long time ago. But the moment comes when you need to connect another device to the Internet - a purchased phone or a device of a friend or guest who has come to you and wants to use a wireless network. So not knowing the network password can become a real problem. But you can look at the code from the laptop. Different versions of Windows do this differently, so we provide detailed instructions for each option.

### Windows 10 and Windows 8
To understand how to find out the Wi-Fi password, you need to be connected to it.
#### Code saved in Android.
To view the network password that you have saved on your phone or tablet running on the Android system, you must have root access to the device.

If you have such access, you should go to the data/misc/wifi folder. This can be done through ES Explorer, Root Explorer or another file manager installed on your phone. In the folder you should find the wpa_supplicant.conf text file. This file will record all the data about the networks you have connected to. Your password will be the psk parameter.

You can also download a program from the app store that will display passwords for networks stored on your phone. A similar program is wifi Password (ROOT), but there are many analogues in the app store. You can choose what suits you best in this case.

### Minecraft password reset
If you tried all the methods we described in the previous article and you can't figure out how to find out the Wi-Fi network password because none of the listed methods work, you will need to reset the password and set a new one. This will help, for example, if you can't get into the router settings because someone changed your password. However, this only works if you have physical access to the router. That is, in order to reset the Internet password and set a new one, you must be the owner of the router and the network itself.

It is worth noting right away that this method has a significant drawback. Find out ahead of time if your ISP uses unique settings to connect to the network. If you do, you will have to call the wizard again and configure the Internet yourself. Or you can do it yourself by following the instructions of the provider's call center specialist.

To reset the password, you need to look at the back of the router, on which there are buttons with which you can control the router and the ports for entering cables from the Internet. You should find the reset button; there will be a reset signature next to it in most cases.

This button can be pressed with a thin paper clip or needle and held for about 10 seconds. If this method did not work, then you need to hold the button, turn off the router for about half a minute. All this time, you need to hold the button. After that, while holding the reset button, you need to turn on the router and hold the reset button for about half a minute.

After that, all the settings that were on the router must be reset. And the password of the router will now be the one that is written on the back of the router.

After you reset the settings, you need to reconnect the router to the network for everything to work. You can call the provider's wizard or see how to connect the router in the instructions for it. But the last method only works if your provider doesn't use unique settings.

### conclusions
As you can see, there are many ways to find out your wifi password, but they all work in different cases. Remember that you can always reset the settings as a last resort, but then you will have to reinstall it so that the router can distribute your Internet.

If you know more ways to see the password, you can write them in the comments so that other users can solve your problem quickly.

If this happens, you should immediately change the password. And then we will tell you how to change the password in minecraft on the server. By the way, this action is easy in all multiplayer games. In our case, everything is the same, but with the peculiarities of changing the password, which can sometimes cause difficulties.

Users often want to change their password because this combination of characters seems simple, and therefore they start to worry about the threat of a hack. This is what should be done, instead of waiting for the situation to get worse. It happens that gamers create very complex passwords that they cannot remember. And then they can't log into their accounts. There is only one way out - to change the password to one that is easier to remember. Therefore, you need to know how to change the access code, as well as based on what criteria to choose it.
