Your router may or may not have it in plain text… You need to login to your router, depending on the name brand it is probably [http://192.168.0.1](http://192.168.0.1) or [http://192.168.1.1](http://192.168.1.1). Then look under a wireless options type deal. If you have problems logging into your router because you forgot the login/password and you know you changed it from the default then look into resetting your router back to the default settings, most have a little reset button on the back or bottom. You can try looking up the default login/password either in your manual, or on google if you lost the manual.

edit: also, if your router doesn’t show the key in your plain text your going to want to reset the router.
