if the Key Content line just isn't there, open command prompt as administrator and run it again. without admin rights it lists the profile but leaves the password out. another way if you've got an android phone on the same network: Wi-Fi settings, tap the network, Share. it shows a QR code and the password written underneath.

open command prompt and run: netsh wlan show profile name="YourNetworkName" key=clear the password is the line called Key Content under security settings. if you can't remember the exact network name, run netsh wlan show profiles first and it lists every one the laptop has saved. for the network you're connected to right now there's also a click route: Network and Sharing Center > click the Wi-Fi name > Wireless Properties > Security tab > tick Show characters.
