    retrieving wifi password without admin rights


    I have a wifi network saved on a laptop that I don't know the password too, I don't have admin rights on that device.

    I thought I had cracked the solution..

    I exported the wifi profile on that laptop using netsh command which gave me an xml file with a coded pass phrase inside it, I put that xml on a usb, copied it to another laptop which has admin rights, imported the profile, it showed up under saved networks, clicked connect and it prompted for the password still grr!

    Anyone got any other ideas to do this?

    The password will be on the side of the hub, or with the paperwork you recieved from your ISP, Admin rights are not required.

Hello, I've got a really retarded problem. I forgot my Wi-fi password, which is stored on a PC running Windows XP. To retrieve it, I used Wireless Key View. However, I only get the 64 character hex version, there is no ASCII version. (due to the network being WPA-PSK and on XP) I need...
admin user lost some admin rights
in BSOD Help and Support

I can't delete a file from the desktop. When I try, it says to get the rights from the specified admin user (which I'm logged on). The strange thing is that I still can create other users from this account (including admins). Any suggestion on what to do?
