  1. Open up your File Manager in Android. If you don’t have one  built-in, there are a number of free and cheap apps you can download  from Google Play. The Root Explorer, OI File Manager, and ES File  Explorer are all good options if you need one.
  2. Navigate to the /data/wifi/ or to the /data/misc/wifi/ directory, depending on the device.
  3. In /data/wifi/, look for and open a file named bcm_supp.conf. In/data/misc/wifi/ look for and open a file named wpa_suppliciant.conf.
  4. After you select wpa_supplicant.conf, you will be  prompted to choose a text editor with which to open the file. If you  don’t have one built into your Android device, there are a number of  free text editor apps you can download from Google Play. 920 Text Editor  is a good, free one to use.
  5. Once the file is open, you will be able to see a lot of the data and  passwords about the various Wi-Fi networks you’ve previously connected  to. Look for the following sequence of code in order to find the  password for each Wi-Fi network.

Simply look for the sequence of code that has the name of the Wi-Fi network whose password you’re looking for.
network={
ssid=”NETWORK_NAME_HERE”
psk=”PASSWORD_HERE”
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
priority=1
}

Once  you’re in the right file, you can easily locate the saved Wi-Fi  passwords and will be in a position to access the network regardless of  the time of day and without bothering your co-workers or friends for the  password. This easy set of instructions for how to recover Wi-Fi  password on Android without root will prove invaluable.
