Get wifi password

[APP] can someone helped try to get my wifi password because I forgot it and it was a custom password
Sent from my HTC Wildfire S using xda premium

you should check the wireless key in your router or access point.

Try to install wifi key recovery from market . It requires root access . It might restore or give you the wifi password stored on your mobile .

Bro..first question..is it ur WIFI router's key that u forgot or the WIFI hotspot key on ur phone?
If it is for the router..then u r asking the question at the wrong place..still the solution(if you're using Windows 7) would be as follows:
Click on the Wifi icon on the bottom right of ur screen
Right click on your wireless network>>select "Properties"
Goto "Security">>Check(Put a tick) the "Show Characters" option
It should show u the password.
If it is the WIFI hotspot key..then changing it is simple..go to settings>>wireless and networks>>portable wifi hotspot settings>>and change the key/password over there..
Click the "Thanks" button if I helped you out..

most likely you will not be able to get the wifi key back. try going onto a laptop or other device that already is connected to the wifi point and try and see the password.

Go to with root explorer
/data/misc/wifi/
And open
wpa_supplicant.conf
That's where all your wifi network passwords get saved to

Above this quote

Connect to the router using an ethernet cable with a PC/laptop and you can check the WiFi settings as you don't need a network key for an ethernet connection.
Check your network connection for default gateway, it'll be something like 192.168.1.254 and if you changed the WiFi key before you should be alreet from that point!

how to root
i had download but how to root???

Confused.
If you lost your wifi password, go to your router config using your PC and a web browser (if you don't know how to do this, step away from your computer and never return!) and find out from there.
If you just can't remember it, but you know its on your phone, pull the wpa_supplicant file from your phone and open it in a text editor on your PC. There is your password.

Your tool is amazing... only one that actually works for rooting, recovery flashing, password recovery, etc. I hope that you keep improving it.

So from what i can tell he doesnt know his router password he doesnt know how to configure his router. So dude what are you doing in this forum if you dont know how to configure a router ? You said you have galaxy tab and i would suggest to do eoghans method on it but considering what i've seen from your prev posts its probably not rooted. I dont wanna sound dickish but ppl cant help you if you dont help yourself. So make it easyer on yourself and call your IP or whatever and pay for their "professional" help.

Parents thing

My parents need to need to lock up my phone so I have no Internet access, not even wifi. Is there an app that anyone can develop or if there is one already that cannot have data cleared or force stopped? Please tell me as soon as possible.

Let me explin it better again sorry to bump this.. I need somthing that can lock wifi and i have no root but like lock it so no internet access at all and need a pasword to lock it.. But maybe also a phone watcher that monitors? But not text monitor.

Go on the play store and browse. There is an app that can lock other apps without root with a password.

Doesn't Sprint offer stuff like that through your contact.

No it doesn't. Wifi is internal on the Android System. And I have no root and I won't root it because of warranty. :/ So that means I can't use a rom with a wifi bug !! :/

Yeah app locker I saw but my dad said no wifi :/

What don't they just put a new password on the WiFi and disable your internet?

Yea too bad you can't root. But the only warranty it voids is HTC's, so it doesn't really matter since if something happens, it goes through your insurance usually.
Rooting= get stock Rom, remove all WiFi modules and files from kernel and Rom, problem solved.

Maybe I am thinking to technical. But you should be able to set your home modem with a MAC filter so that you are blocked on WiFi. I would suggest an ip filter but that normally comes with ups and downs as your phone will look for a new ip later. If you can get your folks to just set up a MAC filter then they can shut down the internet at certain times when you are not allowed to have it and it will function when you are allowed. I do this with my son, all his devices even his xbox get no internet access after 9:30. Every new device he brings home I lock it down. But thats just me.

Just get the app locker and have your parents set their own password, and turn off WiFi and mobile data. Only bad thing is is that you'll be locked out of the entire settings menu. Also, I understand how you feel, I'm 14 years old. Lol. Good luck!

One would assume if he can't have wifi at home then he probably can't have it anywhere else? So locking the Mac would only work at home, kinda defeats the purpose?

Rooting on its own, won't do anything, but freezing or deleting the tethering manager or the tethering provision (if you're on stock ICS) should get the job done.
Now keep in mind that T-Mobile's tethering detection works by detecting your browser agent. Therefore if you're tethering another android phone, then they won't know (unless they were to inspect packets of data, which they don't do) but if tethering to a PC it's best to install a Web Browser agent switch, so they think that you're really using your Android browser.
Now keep in mind that you're doing this completely on your own risk. It should work, but if they catch you, then there might be consequences.

How did T-Mobile totally block my tethering?

Hey guys, I've been using workarounds and such for a very long time with my T-Mobile phones, and T-Mobile has been sending me "you're going to be blocked" messages for a while and I've just ignored them. Now, it says "you're blocked" and I just thought ok, I'll use a mobile user agent on my computer and secure sites...
Not so fast - my mobile hotspot SSID doesn't even show up on my laptop anymore using my Wireless Tether for Root Users app...how is this possible?
I'm on the stock rooted JB rom

I believe they started blocking by the user agent on your browser. You'll need to set it to something Android generic.
EDIT: just saw your comment on your user agent. Nevermind.

What message have they been sending?

Please, tell us more about what you have tried. You're using the Treve Mod - Wireless Tether app? And you changed the APN using the APN Backup and Restore?

That's the problem with jb touchwiz, ssid doesn't show. You need to adjust a few settings in the wifi tether app.. or there's a modded one floating around. I forget where the instructions are, but more workaround are definitely there for your problem

The modded app that you're talking about: Go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1988735 and download the one labelled "WifiTether-TrevE_Mod_11_22_2012_driverReload2." You should go into settings and change the Device-Profile to 'Generic ICS/JB (wlan0)'. SSID does show up and WiFi-Encryption and Access Control both work for me.
Hope this helps.

WIFI Tether after ota

Has anyone had any issues with wifi tether after the 4.3 ota.
I am having one hell of a time getting it to work.
I tried everything i can think of and it refuses to work.
Get errors about not finding the binaries, gets phone in unknown state ( the only app that does it )... yes i am rooted and confirmed that i can mod system files.

I'm seeing the exact same thing. Also seeing messages like "Couldn't install file-data/data/com/googlecode.android.wifi.tether/bin..." and when trying to view the log file it also doesn't exist. Have tried several configurations and several tethering apps and can't get anything to work.

What exactly is happening when you start tethering ?
Are you getting "error" or you can start tethering but no data is transfered from your device ?
My post solves the "error" problem as described here
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=62516
Other posts here indicate that in some cases tethering won't work if you don't have a plan for it.
Anyhow there is a fix for this issue too. search the forum.

Depending on what I try I either get a screen that is forever asking me to "Please wait while starting..." or I get the error like wpsantennas where it tells me "Couldn't install file-data/data/com.googlecode.android.wifi.tether/bin/tether!"
It will tell me my phone is in an "unknown state" if I try to stop and restart the tethering process.

Same problem here. Tethering worked fine before update, after updating to 4.3 experiencing same problems listed above.
From what I've read, a few of the custom roms, including some sense roms, seem to have the stock mobile hotspot working. Anyone know what was changed in those to get it working?

100% stock rooted, debloated.
Im trying to get the native tether with security check bypassed.. i found the code but of course when i debloated i dont have the files, so i got to wait 3 hours to dl the rom with the file ..ugh useing th previous rom files i can get it to launch and run, and show up but going into settings crashes settings

I'm stock rooted except running ObOne kernel. Didn't think the kernel was the problem but didn't run tether on 4.3 before flashing the new kernel. When I ran into the tether problems I wasn't debloated but since then I've dumped some stuff.
Based on the error messages it seems as if the app can't write to the directory but have no clue why. Tried OpenGarden and it had the same errors.

I decided to check out the sprint forums for the one, and the exact same thing happened to them when they got 4.3 . It seems it was hit or miss with the tether apps. and it seemed that a reasonable fix was to use native tether with security bypassed. The person who modded the one tether app that we are having problems with seems to be MIA

Workaround
All,
I believe i found a viable workaround
