Recover Lost Wifi Keys
WirelessKeyView recovers all wireless network security keys/passwords (WEP/WPA) stored in your computer by the 'Wireless Zero Configuration' service of Windows XP and by the 'WLAN AutoConfig' service of Windows Vista. It allows you to easily save all keys to text/html/xml file, or copy a single key to the clipboard.

Find your wireless keys
Using this utility on Windows 7
Starting from Windows 7, Microsoft changed the encryption and hashing algorithms that are used by the Windows Data Protection (DPAPI) system. This change also affects the encryption of the wireless keys stored by Windows, and thus WirelessKeyView failed to retrieve the wireless keys under Windows 7.
The research and development of a new code that will decrypt the keys of Windows 7 may take a while. So for now, I added a workaround that will allow Windows 7 users to retrieve their wireless keys. This workaround uses an old method of code infection that I used until version 1.25 and it still works properly under Windows 7.
This method has one drawback that you should be aware: In some circumstances, it may crash the lsass.exe process and will require your system to restart.
In order to use this code injection method under Windows 7, go to 'Advanced Options' (F9), and choose the 'Use code injection method' option.
