Recover Wi-Fi passwords
A configuration file is essential in knowing important login credentials for the local Wi-Fi network you'll connect to. It's typically a one-and-done process that you need to load up into your router to establish a connection. However, there will be times when you'll accidentally delete these settings and lose access to the internet. RouterPassView is a utility that can help in these situations.
It has support for different router models from multiple brands, as well as the ability to recognize various file types, even proprietary ones. Use the Open Router Config File to add a file or simply drag and drop it into the program. If it's able to detect and decrypt it, you'll get a list of passwords/keys to find the one you're looking for.
Alternatively, you can use Text Mode in Ascii or Hex Dump formats and go from there. There's even support for command-line use if you prefer that. If all else fails, you can opt for the Get Password From IE Window option as a final resort. On another note, its user interface looks outdated and can use an overhaul. Also, be aware that not all OS versions are supported.
