Get my Wifi Password (It's saved as dots, how can I see it) in WinXP?

Question

I can't use Wirelesskeyview, my anti-virus keeps deleting it and I can't disable it. Is there another way to get it?

Solution 1

Start in safe mode then try the wireless key view program

Solution 2

Try Cain & Abel. It has a nice local password recovery for wireless passwords.

Is it WEP? If so, you could try the aircrack route to find the password.

@Rob Alright, I'll try that now.

The only downside is you need the appropriate drivers and a compatible wireless card, it's not a definite solution.

[Freesnöw]

@Rob, yeah, it didn't work.

Do you have access to tthe wirelss access point/router?

[Freesnöw]

All its showing me is |||||||| as the password which isn't right...

[Freesnöw]

Good Idea! It worked!
