View my Wireless Key on my iphone?

I have my iphone connected wirelessly from my home network. However, I forgot my home pass so I'm hoping (without resetting the router) I can get the wireless key straight from my iphone if anyone knows of nay apps please let me know.

Thank you!

There is no way to view the network password(s) that are saved on the iPhone. This is a security measure. They can be deleted, but not viewed. You'll need to reset your router.

Hello Cameron2008,

If your iMac connects to that wireless network, you should be able to view the password in your Keychain Access on the iMac.

Open Keychain Access from your Utilities folder (Applications/Utilities).
Locate your wireless network in the list of items.
Double-click it and check the "Show Password" box.
You'll probably be prompted for your iMac's Administrator password to reveal the password.

If your having issues with Keychain Access, check this article for information on troubleshooting Keychain Access:

Hope that helps and you haven't reset your router yet,

Use your iphone to go into your router and look it up? or connect your Imac with a cable? and get your password out of the router... thats what i'd do
