Retrieve D-Link Router WPA Password via Firebug

Well I’ve done it a million times, I forget my WPA password and each time a new device comes along I have to change it for them all. Well no more!

My router is D-Link DGL-4300. All you need to make this work is Firefox and Firebug. (Any javascript console should work)

Travel over to your nifty wireless settings page (http://192.168.0.1/Basic_Wireless.html) and open up your javascript console. Then type this: data.wireless.wpa_psk and you should see your nifty WPA password in the console.

Enjoy!
