How can i find my wifi password

I have misplaced my wifi password and cant seem to find it anywhere. I am however connected to my ipad can i find it anywhere on here?

If you have a Mac you can use the following procedure to retrieve it. Otherwise, reset your wireless network password by momentarily depressing the reset button on your AirPort Extreme, Express, or Time Capsule. Press the button for one full second, no more. Then, configure a new password using AirPort Utility.
Your wireless network password is stored in your Mac's Keychain.
You must first have an Administrator account on a Mac that you use with that AirPort Base Station, one that is used to connect to your AirPort network.
On that Mac, open the Utilities folder. Find Keychain Access and launch it.
In the search field at the upper right, type Airport. All the Keychain entries for your base station will appear there, as well as other entries.
Look at the column "Kind". The entry you want to select will be labeled "AirPort network password" (not "AirPort base station password" or anything else).
If you are trying to recover the AirPort Base Station password then the entry you want to select will be labeled "AirPort base station password" not "AirPort network password".
Double-click that, and in the window that appears check the box for "Show password".
You will get the following window:
In the Password field type your Mac's Administrator password - the same one you used to log in to that Mac.
Then, click Allow, and your wireless network password will appear in the "Show password" field:
Make note of it.
Close the window, then quit Keychain Access.

    Find the manual that came with the device or go to the manufacturers support site.

    How can I find my wife's iPhone? She has a different iCloud account from me. I can find all of my devices on my iCloud account. But since the last software update we needed to set up separate iCloud accounts in order to be able to use iMessage independently.

    Interesting. This never occurred to be a problem to me but I think I can see your point. Leave feedback for Apple on this here:

  • How can I recover my wifi password?

    How can I recover my wifi password? My mac is still connected, but the vodafone store deleted my settings on my ipad!! I've tried keychain access and network preferences, but it doesn't show the password, just asks for the password. Is there another way?

    Use a browser to log into your router. Navigate to the wifi settings and the passphrase will be there. The address of your router is manufacturer dependent but will be something like http://192.168.1.1 or http://192.168.0.1.
    If you can't log into your router for some reason you can reset it to factory defaults. Look in your router manual for instructions. Once reset to factory defaults the wifi pass phrase will be the one provided as default for your router model. Look in your router manual. You will then need to create a new pass phrase in your router wifi settings and then change the passphrase used in your wifi devices to match your newly created passphrase.

    If it was setup using your iPhone and your Apple ID then as far as the iCloud team will be able to find out, you set it up.  Passwords cannot be retrieved.
    Change all passwords on accounts associated with your iPhone. 

  • HT201415 i can't find my wifi password for iphone 4s

    i can't find my wifi password for my iphoine 4s.  is there a way to reset it.

    Many internet providers put the WiFi password on a stick on the bottom of the router they send you, so start by looking there. If you changed the password from what it was originally or didn't get the router from your provider, you'll need to determine the make and model of the router and see if you can find the manufacturer's instructions for resetting the password. You might also contact your internet service provider for assistance.

  • How can i find my encryption password?

    i totally forgot my encryption password and i need help...

    Hello APaq17. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    According to my deskside support i need to figure out my SSID.
    The SSID is the same as the wireless Network Name. By default, your AirPort Express Base Station (AX) will broadcast a wireless network with a Network Name of "Apple Network NNNNNN" unless you changed it.
    How do i find my encryption type?
    By default, the AX's wireless network would be unencrypted. You enable wireless encryption by using the AirPort Utility. Depending on the model of your AX, it should be capable of providing the following security types: WEP, WPA, & WPA2.
    (ref: AirPort Utility > Select the AX > Manual Setup > AirPort > Wireless > Wireless Security)
    Where can i find my password or network key?
    Again this would be something you would have created when enabling wireless encryption.

  • How can I see saved wifi passwords iPhone iOS5?

    On the iPhone, is there a way to view stored wireless passwords?
    A friend of mine forgets his wifi password and it would be far easier for me to look it up than for him to try and find the right menu in the router!
    When I was there last I looked it up for him and added it to my phone to test it.

    Drat!
    I was hoping there was a secret menu for "Keychain access".
    How about a 3rd party app?
    Or maybe a way to dig it out of the backup file(s) on my MAC?

  • HT1212 Question??? My daughter has her old ipone 4 that she cannot remember the passcode to unlock it and retrieve her information to put on her new iphone 5..how can we find out her password to remove it and get her information

    My daughter has an old iphone4 that she can not remember the passcode to get into it and retrieve information for her iphone5...how can I restore the phone or get the password off w/o knowing current passcode?

    There is no way to retrieve any data from the phone unless you can remember the passcode. That's the whole point of the passcode, to protect the data. To remove the passcode, you'll have to force the phone into recovery mode, as described here, & restore it:

    All data on the phone will be erased.

  • HT1338 how can i find username and password for MobileMe ?

    please let me know which username and password should use for Mobileme.

    MobileMe is closed; if you had an account and did not migrate it to iCloud it's lost. If you migrated it to iCloud the login is your @me.com email address and the password is what you chose.
    If you never had a MobileMe account (and paid for it prior to June last year) the situation does not arise - you may have come across some old documentation encouraging you to sign up, but this is no longer possible.
    You can open an iCloud account for free, which will give you email and syncing facilities:
