Ever have that friend who let you connect to his WIFI before but now doesn't? Well I have those people too and when I bring over my phone or laptop over to their house, when I want to watch videos I don't want to use data so let me tell you how it works.
Requirements:
1) Computer
2) Connected to the WIFI at one point in time (if you've never connected to the WIFI you cannot do this)
3) Command Prompt Access
Step 1) Open up command prompt
Step 2) Write the following command: netsh wlan show profiles
Step 3) Find the WIFI name for example our "friend" will be duomax123
Step 4) Re-write the WIFI command with the quotations and the name of your friend's WIFI name but add key=clear at the end: netsh wlan show profiles "duomax123" key=clear
Step 5) Wait for it to load
Step 6) Find Security Settings
Step 7) Look for "Key Content=password123" <-That's the password or whatever they have it to
Step 8) It will help if you don't look suspicious while doing this but it's not like they can do anything
*Note* Even if they change the password it will automatically update with the new password when you do the command again.
Thanks, lads.
EDIT: You may need to run as an administrator but it usually isn't needed.
