I run WirelessKeyView, and it gives me a very long WPA-PSK key under the Key (Hex) column, which is not the original key that I used. Can I retrieve the original Ascii key ?
In Windows XP, after you type a WPA-PSK key, it automatically converted into a 256-bit key that is displayed by WirelessKeyView in ‘Key (Hex)’ column. This new key cannot be converted back to the original key that you typed, but you can use this key to connect to the wireless network exactly like the original key. In Windows Vista, the WPA-PSK key is not converted into another key, so you can retrieve the original key that you typed.
