When You Need The Password And Can't Find It
You want to connect a new device or give WiFi access to a visitor but you've got no idea what the password is. Router sticker's fallen off, you never wrote it down, no devices remember it.
💡 Pro tip: Write your WiFi password on a label stuck to your router. Sounds obvious but saves massive hassle when you need it.

What to Expect
Step 1: Check The Router
Look for password sticker on router - might be on bottom, back, or side. If it's there, great. If not, move to next step.
Step 2: Retrieve From Computer
If a computer's already connected, open network settings and view the saved password. Windows and Mac both let you do this.
Step 3: Write It Down Clearly
Record password legibly - making sure capital I and lowercase l are distinguishable, zeros vs letter O, etc. Stick label on router.
🔧 DIY Tips
Want to find it yourself? Here's how:
🔧 Where to look first:
- Router sticker (bottom, back, or sides)
- Original router box/paperwork
- Email from internet provider (if it's their router)
- Written down somewhere sensible (drawer, notebook)
💻 On Windows computer:
- Click WiFi icon in taskbar
- Right-click your network name
- Click "Properties"
- Tick "Show characters" next to password
- There it is - write it down
🍎 On Mac:
- Open "Keychain Access" (search in Spotlight)
- Find your WiFi network name in list
- Double-click it
- Tick "Show password"
- Enter your Mac password to reveal it
📱 On iPhone (if you have newer iOS):
- Settings > WiFi
- Tap (i) next to your network
- Tap "Password"
- Use Face/Touch ID to reveal it
🌐 In router admin page:
- Open web browser
- Type 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1 in address bar
- Log in (usually admin/admin or admin/password)
- Find Wireless or WiFi settings
- Password shown there (might be called WPA Key)
⚠️ Common DIY mistakes
- Confusing router admin password with WiFi password (they're different)
- Typing 192.168.1.1 wrong (easy to mistype)
- Can't log into router (try default passwords first)
- Viewing password but misreading it (l vs 1, O vs 0)
- Writing it down then immediately losing the paper
💡 Pro trick: Once you've found your WiFi password, create a QR code for it (plenty of free online generators). Print it and stick it on your router. Guests can scan it with their phone camera and auto-connect - no typing needed.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.
Good to Know
🎨 Want to change your WiFi password to something memorable? I can do that, but remember you'll need to reconnect every device in your house with the new password. Often more hassle than it's worth.
Security concern? If you think someone unauthorised has your WiFi password, definitely change it. Just be ready to reconnect all your devices afterwards.
Multiple WiFi networks? Some routers broadcast both 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks. They might have same password or different ones - I'll note both if needed.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where is my WiFi password?
Usually on a sticker on your router - look for 'Wireless Key', 'WPA Key', or 'Password'. If it's not there, it's been changed from default and I'll need to retrieve it from a connected device or router settings.
Can you find it if I've lost the router sticker?
Yes - if you've got a computer already connected to the WiFi, I can view the saved password in the network settings. Or I can log into the router admin page and look it up there.
What if I don't know the router admin password either?
That's usually 'admin' and 'password', or written on the router. If someone changed it and you don't know what to, we might need to reset the router to factory settings - which means setting everything up again.
Should I write the password on the router?
Yes, absolutely. Stick a label on it or write on the router itself with permanent marker. Much easier than hunting for it every time. If you're worried about security, keep it written down somewhere only you can access.
Can you change the WiFi password to something easier?
I can, but easier passwords are less secure. If you do change it, every device will need reconnecting with the new password. Usually easier to just write down the existing one.
