How to Find Your Lost Wireless Passwords

Alright. Here's the situation: You've had this wireless set up on your computer for a very long time. Your computer automatically hooks up to it at startup. However, you want to add a new device to your system, and it dawns on you that you have no idea what that 20 digit monster of a password may be in the slightest. This is an easy way to recover it (or go to neighbors' houses and use it more maliciously?).

Step 1: Materials List

Luckily for you, this is extremely easy.

1. An internet connection (the one you're trying to recover?).

2. I recommend a usb drive (specially for you malicious guys). Any usb will be big enough. The file is just a tad too large for a floppy.

Will this recover such when the original set up was done by another laptop and it belongs to me? Or how can this be done? Can it?

It does not matter if the setup was done on the computer you are doing this on. The computer just has to have the password saved on it for autoconnecting.
