# Discover Wi-Fi Password for Existing Profile

If you have already connected to a Wi-Fi network previously then a profile for that network is created in Windows. To see the existing Wi-Fi profiles open a Command prompt and run as administrator.

Now pick the profile that you want to get the passcode for and then enter this command to retrieve the passcode.

**netsh wlan show profile name="<Name of Wi-Fi Profile>" key=clear**
