Hey there! If you don't run cmd as administrator then your access is restricted. However if you run cmd as administrator then you have unrestricted access to all of the computers resources. Try it out, type netsh wlan show profile WiFi-name key=clear If you aren't admin then this will not work. If you are then it will show you the wifi's password. (Note : instead of WiFi-name put the ssid of the wifi you are connected to)
