Need access to wpa_supplicant.conf

[-Dr3X]

Hi guys, new here.

I need to find a way to recover a wifi password. Cant connect to the SSID anymore as it has changed. Is my understanding the password is on /data/misc/wifi/wap_supplicant.conf
When use adb shell I can get just as far as to /data/misc, then says permission denied.
if try to do adb pull /data/misc/wifi/wpa_suplicant.conf , i get the following:

C:\platform-tools>adb pull /data/misc/wifi/wpa_suplicant.conf
adb: error: failed to stat remote object '/data/misc/wifi/wpa_suplicant.conf': Permission denied

Any Idea how I can read the file?

Best Regards

I dont know which android version you have… there are restrictions to get access to system files. there are alot ways to get access

use a magisk module and copy the file to a directory where you have access

or.. .

# install magisk & mix explorer
# grant root in magisk to mix explorer
# grant root access in mix explorer -> settings - more settings - allow root

If I root the phone, get the password. Can then unroot the phone the way it was before?

Well, got stuck on using fastboot.

It fails on the second part.

C:\platform-tools>fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img
Sending 'boot_a' (196608 KB) OKAY [ 4.298s]
Writing 'boot_a' FAILED (remote: 'Flashing is not allowed in Lock State')
fastboot: error: Command failed


Found this command but still fail.

C:\platform-tools>fastboot oem unlock
FAILED (remote: 'Token Verify Failed, Reboot the device')


The phone is on dev mode, oem unlocking is on.


Any ideas?????

Thanks

I found a way to retrieve the Wi-Fi password needed.


Pretty simple, made a backup using the phone app then open the Wi-Fi setting .bak file and look for the key.

Thanks for the help
