WIFI Password retrieveal

How can I retrieve my wifi password?

For your wireless network at home?
If so, do you have an Apple wireless router?
Regardless, the password for your wireless network should be in your Mac's keychain. Check Keychain access on your Mac for this.

TS1398 I forgot my WiFi password and I cannot access a connection, How can I retrieve my pasword

You would have to get that from your internet provider.

Trying to retrieve my wifi password...

I can't figure this out.
I typed in a wifi password into my iPad and it works great. I have since forgotten the password and would like to use the password on my laptop as well....I dont have access to the router or the admin person, so it's up to me pretty much.
Is there a way to find out what the wifi password I typed in was?

David is right, breaking passwords is generally very difficult to do. A little more info, though, would help. Is this for a WiFi network at the office or some where else? Where did you get the password for the iPad? Were you allowed to make up your own?
If it was supplied to you, there is no alternative but to contact admin for the password. If you make up your own, make a combination of letters, numbers, symbols that is a mnemonic for you but others will not be able to guess.

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.

How can i find out my wifi password

Not if it's a newer router. WEP is unsecure and outdated. The current standard is WPA.
Some routers might label it differently, though. If you see these on the bottom of your router, here's what they mean:
WAP = Wireless Access Point (the router itself)
WPA = Wi-Fi Protected Access (current wifi security standard for home use)
WEP = Wired Equivalent Privacy (deprecated, so avoid)
And of course the password might be different if you or someone else changed it from what's on the bottom of the router.

My iPad Mini keeps saying "incorrect wifi password"

So just recently my ipad had dissconnected itself from our internet, i had attempted to re enter our regular wifi password which is about thirty numbers long, and it said incorrect, i figured sicne it was so long i mistyped something. so i typed it in another 10 or so times, no change. i later called apple which got me no where because appearently you now have to pay for phone sevices which is absouloutly ludacris. And seeing as our closest apple stores are in Detroit, or London, my parents cant just go take me whenever.
So anyways, i have googled every possible thing i can, and i still havent found any troublshooting things that work. Soft resets, and resseting network settings didnt help either. We thought it may have been our router, but yesterday i hd gotten a new phone which had no problems at all connecting to our internet, as well as my sister who had forgotten and reconected to our internet with out a problem too, i have tried updating to the latest ios but my itunes wont let me do it through the computer, and seeing as i have no wifi on my ipad i cant do it that way either.
So now im trying all i can to try and get it to update. I dont really want to restore because if i do and it doesnt fix anything, im stuck with an ipad that is basically usless because i cant download apps without wifi. And i have tried the whole turning on and off your router sequence many times and it hasnt worked.
So is there any way that i can fix this without restoring or going to apple? Restoring is my last resort.

Even though other devices can connect, it may still be worth resetting the router. Does it connect to other Wi-Fi networks?
If that doesn't work, you've done all the basic troubleshooting, so it's time for a restore.
If that doesn't work, you may have a hardware issue.

IPad 2 on iOS 5.1 losing wifi password.

I've updated my iPad 2 to iOS 5.1 and now it won't keep the wifi password. Each time I have to re-input the password. Sometimes it loses the password whilst I'm using it and just disconnects. It was fine on 5.0 but it's doing my nut in now. I'm sure this is a software glitch so Apple sort it out! My new iPad has had this problem once since I've had it, but the iPad 2 won't remember the password no matter what. It's not hardware as it worked fine for a year before this update.

1- What type of security are you using? (WEP, WPA, WPA2, etc.)
2- Do you have your router set to hide your network's SSID (network name)?
WEP seems to be problematic with iOS devices, and it is not very good security anyway. Using WPA2 is far better and plays nice with iOS.
Hiding your SSID can be problematic with iOS devices (my son's Mac had a problem with that too). There really is no need to hide your SSID since that doesn't protect you in any way, it is quite easy to sniff around and find your network (I have a free app for that, so that tells you how prevalent such 'tools' are).

Lost WiFi password. How can I get it back?

Hello, all. A few months ago I was cleaning out my laptop of old files I don't need anymore and since I had amassed at least 150 files (yeah, I'm not very frequent on cleaning), I was mass deleting files to make it a faster task. In my deleting spree, I deleted a very important file. A file that held my WiFi security settings, password, etc. I now need my WiFi password since I'm buying a Wii U when that comes out on the 18th.
I am hoping to hook up said Wii U to the internet, but as we all know, that requires WiFi which requires knowing your password. Which, I don't know the password by heart, and I need the find it again. Is there any way for me to find the password of my WiFi router without having to call in someone from the GEEK Squad or would it be best to have someone sent out? Its not a major hurry since its just a gaming console and therefore not a life necessity, but still it'd be nice to have.
The router is a Linksys and if it means anything my two computers are Windows XP (PC) and Windows 7 (laptop). Thanks for any help that can be offered. Hoping I can get this resolved.

You're much better off utilizing the 'reset' button the back of your router and going through the setup again, and writing down the password that you set this time.

I'm NOT an employee of Best Buy, or Geek Squad, though I did work as an Agent for a year 5 years ago. None of my posts are to be taken as the official stance that Best Buy will take on your situation. My advice is just that, advice.
Unfortunately, that's the bad luck of any electronic, there's going to be bad Apples... wait that's a horrible pun.

TS1398 iPad won't recognize wifi password after 7.0.2 update. (The password is correct, but iPad says it's incorrect) How do I fix this?

My iPad won't recognize my wifi password after 7.0.2 update. The password IS correct, but I continue to get the message that the password is incorrect. Any ideas how to fix this?

I have the same problem too on my iPad 3. One thing that sometimes works is if you go to the App Store and put your password in there after a few tries it may work.

IPHONE 4 DOESN'T ACCEPT WIFI PASSWORDS ANYMORE - PLEASE HELP!

Hi all,
My iPhone 4 out of blue decided not to accept the wifi password- it says "wrong password for xxx network" - it's my home one it always worked-
I was away and worked fine for a week in others houses (where the password was stored already) went to other house, tried to connect with passwprd and started saying the pw was wrong - got home last night and didn't connect right away as usual(maybe because I've reset the network when away) so I've put the pw in and again says it's wrong - Of course the password is correct - laptop works fine and iPod touch as well - At work there is a non protected wifi and it connects fine - So looks like the iPhone doesn't accept passwprds for the wifi
I've tryed to reset the network few times, reboot it few times, reset all settings and update the sofware (version 5.0.1) - nothing worked - aw also unpluged and re-pluged the router at home (knowiing wouldn't' help)
PLEASE help, very frustrating - I've seen few people had the same issue but nothing worked.
Thanks

You're welcome.
Incorrect. The passcode lock is not included with the backup. The restrictions passcode is, but not the passcode lock. If it were included with the backup, you would need to restore as a new device or not from the backup. Either way, you must restore with iTunes which is the only way around a forgotten passcode.

How do I know what the wifi password is for my 4th Gen time capsule

I am only new to this time capsule thing… I am pretty savvy in things as technology goes but I just can't figure out how to get the wifi password on the 4TH GEN time capsule I have tried everything I know I was not the one to set it up and my mother let the tech do it and paid no attention to the finer details I would have. PLEASE HELP!!! THANK YOU.

You will learn grasshopper!!
looked like I didn't even need the reset but this is great and simple way I hope other people use it!!!! Thank you again!!!! From a not as seasoned techy as you!!! I aspire to be as versed someday!!!
You must use the reset to remove the admin password if it is set.. If the tech left it as default the TC throws up an error.
It is one I choose to ignore since security on the Airport routers is pathetic anyway.
Default password is public btw.
And as long as you access via ethernet then you do not need the wireless password. But the way the utility works now is to set the password the same for both wireless and admin access. So you need to reset.
Pressing the button for 1sec is called a soft reset.
Read the apple documentation on reset. There are 3 levels of reset..
Resetting an AirPort base station FAQ - Apple Support
There is an enormous amount of info Apple have available in documents and technical notes.. and apple has the worst search engine known to man.. so use google to find it.. !!

IPad WiFi password problem fixed by switching to 128-bit encryption

Upon waking, my iPad would often prompt me to re-enter my WiFi password, or simply say that it wasn't connected to the internet.
I was using an old D-Link Router with 64-bit WEP encryption. After talking to a senior support tech, I switched the WEP to 128-bit and it's been smooth sailing ever since.
This is still a bug, because if you're in some random hotel, you can't change the router settings. But this workaround may help until a patch is released.

WRT110 WIFI password problem

Hi Everyone,
I've got a very strange problem. First, I indicated WPA under Wireless Security section and typed in my passphrase. However when connecting to my wireless network name my passphrase never worked. Second, I completely disabled security and tried to simply connect without any passphrase, but I was still being asked for a passphrase nonetheless. I checked and double-checked and saved settings making sure security was disabled, but I was still being asked for a passphrase when choosing my wireless network!
I could probably restore my WRT110 to factory settings, however I don't want to loose other configurations like certain open ports and IP addresses I opened up for firewall.
Is there a way for me to resolve my WiFI password problem without restoring to factory default? I just need to figure out how to make the WiFi passpharse work. Here's what I have there:
Security Mode: WPA Personal
Encryption: TKIP
Passphrase: 0sunspot0
Key Renewal: 3600 seconds
However, when I pick my wireless network and try to connect to it by typing in 0sunspot0, I get authentication failure!
Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks,
Victor.
Solved!

I have misplaced all relevant info. for my router. I am trying to connect to a mini ipad. What do I need?
Is the router up and running and you would only want to add a device wirelessly? If so, you may access the setup page as sabretooth has said. To check the wireless settings, you may check this link, http://kb.linksys.com/Linksys/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=476326f36c294e579ba6691a8db5411e_3698.xml&pid=80&r...
