This is probably where you're looking for, but this tool also requires Administrator privileges.

Alight I"ll explain the situation alittle more.  It is my laptop. I want to be able to access the school's wireless internet with my wireless internet card that is hooked up to my computer.  I need the password for the settings on my computer.

Just setting your network card to use DHCP should be enough to provide you with internet access.  :)

So explain to your school's network admin that you need to get your personal laptop on the school's Internet to do a 'school related project' or something.. maybe he'll give ya the password ;) (at least they would at my school.. no wait.. their wireless network isn't even encrypted :P)
No, I didn't search before
posting. Don't bother asking.

This is where I need a program to get the password.  This is a screenshot from a teachers computer, showing the Wireless Network connection settings.  As you can see, that is the password I need... I"ve been searching google, and other anonymous websites.

Dude, I hate to be the one to spoil your fun. But schools really do take offence to unauthorised access of their wireless network. Are you sure you are allowed to have access, or have the approval of a member of the IT staff?

Anubis is right. If you want to use your schools network, why not ask for it?

If you still want to try to get it, try this program. It might be able to reveal the password at the asterisks. click here

Our School Admin is never there, he only gets called in when something needs to be fixed, and since he's a really good admin, nothing has needed to be fixed for over a month... :dodgy:

There isn't a way of getting the encrypted network password unless the key is provided to you by the router itself (or knowing the encrypted password itself). And since that is the most insecure way of doing things it is needed to be entered manually.
