The wireless Internet connection does not always complete successfully, resetting user settings. For this and various other reasons, users often need to find out the password for their Wi-Fi on the computer. To do this, you will have to dig into the system settings, as well as try some other data recovery methods.
Instructions
Step 1
The most affordable way to find out the password for your Wi-Fi on the computer, or rather, to remember it, is to find the document in which it was written. Remember who set up your wireless network and when. Perhaps they were employees of the provider company with which you entered into an agreement for connecting to the Internet. In this case, the password to Wi-Fi can be specified in this document, so you just need to find it. Was Wi-Fi set up by someone you know? Feel free to call him and ask if he remembers the combination for accessing the network. Also, if these steps did not help, try calling the support service of this company. It is very likely that you will receive all the help you need there.
Step 2
If you have not yet managed to find out the password for your Wi-Fi on the computer, you will have to reset the current settings of your router. Be careful and attentive, as this can lead to a complete inoperability of the Internet until the correct settings are set. They include the initial setting of the type of wired connection, login and password issued by the provider, and only then - the password for Wi-Fi. Therefore, prepare all the necessary documentation: an agreement with the provider or instructions from him and a brochure with instructions from the bundle of the router. Study them: if you are not clear about anything during the reset and setup process, it is better to do it with the help of a specialist (for example, call employees from the provider company).
Step 3
Start recovering your Wi-Fi password if you figured out the specifics of setting up your router. First, perform a system reset of the device by pressing the Reset key on the back of the device. After that, enter the IP address of the router in the address bar of the browser on the computer (for example, 192.168.0.1 - this address is specified in the documentation for the device). Configure the wired connection using the instructions from the provider (the most important thing is to enter the correct username and password to access the wired Internet). Then go to the Wireless Connection section. Set the wifi wireless network name you want, then finally set your desired password. Save the settings and wait until the router reboots, after which you can connect to Wi-Fi over the established connection. Be sure to write down your new password so you don't lose it.
Step 4
There are other ways to find out the password for your Wi-Fi on your computer, for example, programmatically recover it using the Airocrack application (can be found on the Internet). After starting the program, in the "Interface Type" section, specify the model of the existing router (adapter). Next, the process of selecting key combinations will start, and system files will be created. After completing the procedure, upload these files to the Airocrack folder. Please note that this method can work if the password consists of a small number of characters. Otherwise, the selection procedure will take a long time and will not give a positive result.
