Where wi-fi password is stored?

[juusso]

Hi,

I tried to hock up my wi-fi network and have a problem:
my wifi is set to wpa2 and here are some symbols like %@/...

Input on TV network setup screen is limited to letters and digits only and i can`t connect my router. So i changed my wifi password, got TV connected, but i`m not happy with this solution - my network is less secure now...

I haven`t found any file on rw areas where the key is stored so i guess it should be somewhere else...(EEPROM?) I would enter my passw manually if i knew the place (and method).

WPA password not keept as in a ASCII form. They multiplexex with WiFi network name (as a salt) and than enter a cipher. So resulting code is a hexadecimal value. You have better to search that hexadecimal value. I don't remember exact technique how could you look/calculate your actual WPA key... There is some recovery program that recover your password from your windows and shows result in a hex format. Actually you can use that key instead of original one. Both of them works...

I think you`re talking about calculator like this one.

Everything is clear, but one problem - input is limited to 26 symbols (64 are needed)...

If i could find file where encoded password is stored, i would replace it with calculated one...
