Just been given a laptop by my nephew, he's got himself a new one so doesn't need it.
I'd like to connect it to my home WiFi, but I'm stumped if I can remember the key for my router. I did have the key written down but, Murphy's Law kicked in during a home move last year and the notepad went astray. Now seeing as my N900 is connected and the key is stored somewhere on the device. Would it be possible to find the key in a file somewher?

Thankees.

Thanks guys.

I'll chase these up as soon as I get my main PC back up and running.


EDIT: Thanks guys, all sorted.

Am I the only one who wondered what other passwords, etc. are stored unencrypted on the N900 when he used this?
