Let's look at how to find out the password from wifi

Almost every person is familiar with the concept of "Internet". However, not every user of the World Wide Web is able to set up and connect his laptop or tablet to the Web. Most often for such a procedure, invite a friend familiar with this field, or a wizard for setting up computer networks of the provider with whom the Internet service agreement is concluded. Recently, wireless modems with wi-fi (home router) are very popular. As a rule, the installer makes installation and connection of the equipment and is deleted. After that, access to the Network from your laptop becomes free. However, quite often, users are faced with the problem of connecting additional devices to the wireless Internet. For example, a smartphone, a second laptop, tablet, etc. The catch is that the wizard did not leave the password for the wi-fi network. Immediately the question arises: " How can I find out the password from wifi?" Do I need to call a specialist again, or do I have to understand myself? This article is devoted to this very problem.

How to learn the password from wifi?

In order to obtain this information, there are two ways. The first is to find the password on the computer (laptop). In this case, the PC must be connected to the wireless network. It is only necessary to find the necessary data in the settings. The second way is to connect wi-fi to the router. We will discuss in more detail each of these methods.

Method one

Consider this process based on the operating system Windows 7. If your personal computer is already connected to the desired wireless network, then you should open the network management section. To do this, go to the "Start" menu, select "Control Panel" and go to the "Network and Sharing Center". On the computer screen, you will see a window for viewing the main information about the system, as well as the connection settings in which you need to select the "Manage wireless network" section. Next, find the name of our provider. Click on it with the left mouse button (mouse) to make it active. After that, we again move the cursor to it and by pressing the right button we open the list, from which we select "Properties". The window in which you want to activate the Security tab is displayed. In this section, the password is hidden by special disk markers. To display it, you need to check the box "Display input characters".

Method of the second

Consider how to find out the password from wifi, if the access point is at your home. In fact, this method is universal for any wireless modem. The difference may be in the IP address. The IP information of your router (or access point) can be found on the box from this device or on its case. As an example, take the adsl-modem wifi. This method also allows you to change the password for the wireless network. So, let's get started. First of all you need to enter the settings of the router. After that, open any browser and enter the following entry in the address building "192.168.1.1" (IP device) or "192.168.1.0" and press Enter. With this address we connect to the access point and enter the settings. The window with the authorization required to enter the system of the device is opened on the monitor screen. Most often, the network operators leave the standard login and password - admin. We enter this word in both lines and click on "Login". After that, select the Wireless item in the menu, which means "Wireless". Next, in the drop-down list, click the left mouse button on Security. As a result, you will be able to access the network security settings . Here you can not only see the password, but also make a replacement. In addition, in this window you can specify a new name for our network and the type of security.

How to change the name of wi-fi?

It is important to know that if you want to set a new name for your wireless network, you will need to create a new connection. To do this, go to the "Network and Sharing Center" section. We have described how to do this. In this window, you must enter a new name and, of course, a password. To avoid further search in the future, it is better to write this data to yourself in a notebook. If you just want to change the password, then you do not need to create a new wireless connection, because the name will remain the same. If you have multiple devices connected to the network, they will not be able to connect to the Internet when changing the password. It is necessary to replace each gadget.
