	"plain_text": "WiFi Password of All Connected Networks in Windows/Linux\r\nBy GeeksforGeeks\r\nPublished: 2017-08-14 · Archived: 2026-04-05 22:35:47 UTC\r\nLast Updated : 11 Jul, 2022\r\nWindows \r\nCommand Prompt, also known as cmd.exe or cmd (after its executable file name) is a great tool for the people\r\nwho love command interface rather than Graphical UI. There are a lot of features which are still not implemented\r\nin Graphical User Interface can be accessed via CMD. In this article, I am going to share how to find out the\r\npassword of all connected devices using CMD. \r\nBefore going further, you should know one thing that whenever you connect to a Wi-Fi network and enter the\r\npassword, Windows creates a WLAN profile of that Wi-Fi network. These WLAN profiles are stored in the\r\ncomputer alongside other required details of the Wi-Fi profile. \r\nWe can uncover these WLAN profiles later by simply using Windows CMD. You can find out all the connected\r\nnetworks and their passwords by using simple commands. These commands can also uncover the Wi-Fi passwords\r\nof the networks which are not connected at the moment but were connected before. So it works even when you are\r\noffline or when you are connected to any other networks. \r\nNOTE: Following command will only be executed by administrator \r\n1) Open command prompt and run it as administrator \r\n2) Type \"netsh wlan show profile\" - It will show all profile of Wi-Fi which were earlier connected to the\r\ncomputer\r\nhttps://www.geeksforgeeks.org/wi-fi-password-connected-networks-windowslinux/\r\nPage 1 of 4\n\n2) Type this command without quotes \"netsh wlan show profile SaDiNeNi key=clear\"\r\nhttps://www.geeksforgeeks.org/wi-fi-password-connected-networks-windowslinux/\r\nPage 2 of 4\n\nPrecaution which should be taken : \r\n1)Type netsh wlan show profiles (It will show different wi-fi which were connected) \r\n2)Type netsh wlan delete profile name=\"ProfileName\" (Delete the desired profile) \r\nLINUX \r\nTo find the saved wifi password via command line, follow these steps: Login into Ubuntu and open up the\r\n\"Terminal\" and enter these commands. \r\n1) Type cd /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/ - It contains profile of Wi-Fis \r\n2) Type ls -a \r\nhttps://www.geeksforgeeks.org/wi-fi-password-connected-networks-windowslinux/\r\nPage 3 of 4\n\nNow you will get name of the wifi networks saved on your pc. Now enter the following command with the name\r\nof your wifi network you want to find the password. You can find your password at \"psk\"=\"PASSWORD\". \r\n3) sudo cat WIFI_SSID_Name\r\n \r\n \r\nPrecaution which should be taken : \r\n1)sudo ls -l /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/ \r\nTo list all the files, after you have found the network that you want to delete, remove them with the command: \r\n2) sudo rm /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/NETWORK_NAME \r\nSource: https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/wi-fi-password-connected-networks-windowslinux/\r\nhttps://www.geeksforgeeks.org/wi-fi-password-connected-networks-windowslinux/\r\nPage 4 of 4",
