How to see Wi-Fi Password on Android Phone
Navigate to the /data/wifi/ or to the /data/misc/wifi/ directory, depending on the device.
In /data/wifi/, look for a cnd open a file named bcm_supp.conf. In/data/misc/wifi/ look for and open a file named wpa_suppliciant.conf.
After you select wpa_supplicant.conf, you will be prompted to choose a text editor with which to open the file. If you don't have one built into your Android device, there are a number of free text editor apps you can download from Google Play. 920 Text Editor is a good, free one to use.
Once the file is open, you will be able to see a lot of the data and passwords about the various Wi-Fi networks you've previously connected to. Look for the following sequence of code in order to find the password for each Wi-Fi network.First of all, Yes you can.
Am assuming you were logged into a WiFi network without being shown the password and you need to know it.
On the device (be it a phone or a pc) that is currently connected to the WiFi network, open your browser and in the search bar type the routers IP address i.e. 192.168.0.1.
By default, the login credentials will be; “admin” for the user and “admin” for the password or other alternatives like “admin”, “password” or “root”, “Password”.
Now that you’ve logged in, on the left, tap on the Wireless tab and then tap on Wireless security.
The password will be shown there.This is for those without root access.
Make sure you have latest adb driver installed on PC.
Make sure you have Developer Options and USB debug enabled.
Connect phone to PC, at command prompt run adb devices and make sure your device is listed and labelled "device" not "unauthorized".
You might want to run adb root to restart adb as root.
Now run adb shell makes sure the prompt shows root@[device]:
At the prompt issue the command cd /data/misc/wifi
Lastly issue cat wpa_supplicant.conf this should dump data of WiFi you've previously connected to, to your screen.
