Recover wireless key......

[user3657]

Does anyone know a good tool that recovers a wireless key? Here is the issue, the laptop(s) are using dell wireless software. Ive tried 2 programs I found on the internet, but it seems like they only work if you use windows to manage wireless settings.

Suggestions?

Check the little check box that shows the password?

 

[/usr/home]

"the laptop(s) are using dell wireless software"

There's your problem.

Can you see the asterisks at all? If you can, use astlog.

thanks, ive trid aslog, and also nursoft's recovery program.

I think aslong only works if you are able to type in the password, I cant seem to find a way to use it once the password is typed in.

How about just changing the password instead of trying to recover it?

A PDF file that describes how to do this using the Dell Wireless WLAN Card Utility can be found here:
