If you already have access but want to secure your account with a password, follow these steps:
Type: netsh wlan show profile to see the network name (e.g., HOT-XXXX ). Type: netsh wlan show profile "NETWORK_NAME" key=clear .
: Do not use dictionary words, your name, or common sequences like "123456" or "admin," which are among the most frequently compromised passwords globally according to NordPass data .
