Lost your BSNL wifi network security key? Whats under the asterix?

You no longer remember your wireless network security key and you need to enter that password in a new laptop or any other internet device. If your current laptop is connecting to the network wirelessly, then you need to find the network password as follows.

Start > control panel > Network sharing centre > view status of wireless network connection > Security

The network security key will be hidden as asterisks.

Now, to reveal this password, download and run the program 'WirelessKeyView' which is a free download at cnet

This program will show the password [Both Hex and ascii].

Below are the screen shots to help you. {or me if I forget this myself !}
