Now to see the password for a profile, type in the following command: netsh wlan show profile name=profilename key=clear In my case, I only have one WiFi network listed. The name of the WiFi network is on the right. YouвЂ™ll find all the wireless profiles listed under User Profiles.

Then just click on the Security tab and check the Show characters box again to see the password. Just double-click on the one you are interested in.
