hello all, i was using today my old Acer desktop pc with Win XP. as i needed to know my wifi password in order to connect an other device i was wondering how to see the password i used to connect. but as its widows xp, i belive there not a way to see it as you do in 7 or 10 or 8. i installed so a programm , dont remember right now the name, that showed all used passwords, the problem is that i could see them only in HEX beccause Win XP does not support ASCII . i tried inserting the password (HEX) in the other device but the long code was shown as invalid. any idea??
 
Solution
Why not just log into your router and set a new password? Then set up the new password on all of your devices.

You are making a simple thing, very hard....unless this isn't your router/network.

Logging into your router, you can see the info. You can also use a tool like this:

Both method will show what you are using now and can't be used to access networks you aren't attached to.

so i can access my network by writing the HEX code as WPA2 password when it asks, it should work right?
the problem is that i tryed it with my android phone but it marked the code as wrong :(
