I have created a hostednetwork using the netsh wlan set hostednetwork command and i am able to connect it with my device. now i want to connect my new phone with this hostednetwork but i did not remember the password what i have been set.

I can set new hosted network and connect both of my device with that network. but i am curious to know

  1. Is their any way to know what password i set ?
  2. Can i reset password of hostednetwork ?

to display the password you used on your hosted network, type the command below on windows command line:

netsh wlan show hostednetwork setting=security

To view the security key content of your hostednetwork just open CMD with administration right and type:

netsh wlan show hostednetwork security 

and press enter.

100% working.

To reset your password on hosted network, run your cmd as administrator and you then type

Netsh wlan set hostednetwork key=new password

U can then confirm it by checking

Netsh wlan show hostednetwork security
