Hi

I need to recover the AP password of my friend's cabin's wifi router. I have permission, he gave it to me and it is saved and useable on my N900. He is currently on honeymoon in the carribean and would be quite annoyed if i bother him with this (He is definately not an always online type). I often use the cabin as base for hiking trips but I can't find the stupid slip of paper with the AP password. I want to hook up my Laptop and my Android directly, going thru the N900 is cumbersome.
Is there a way to retrieve the stored password?

Thanks

Wow. Thanks. I'm stunned that it's not encrypted....

@casketizer,

If it was encrypted, then the N900 wouldn't be able to use it

Technically, you don't event need a command line. Just do this:
  • Turn on on-screen keyboard (set to on when slider closed)
  • Open slider and edit wifi connection
  • Select password field
  • Close slider
  • Onscreen keyboard pops up with password showing.

This does not work on my device. The 'gconftool-2 -R / | grep passphrase' command shows more information.
