It's quite common to need to connect a new device to your home network but have lost or forgotten your Byfly Wi-Fi password. This can happen after purchasing a new smartphone, having guests over, or performing a scheduled OS reinstallation on your computer. In most cases, by default The access data is indicated on a sticker located on the bottom panel of the router, but if the label is damaged or worn out, you will have to look for alternative ways to recover the information.
There are several proven methods to find out security key Without having to reset your router to factory settings. You can use the device's web interface, view saved data in the Windows operating system, or even in the settings of your Android phone. It's important to understand that each method has its own nuances and requires specific, sequential steps.
In this article, we will examine in detail all the available options for restoring access to your provider's wireless network. BeltelecomWe will look at working with the interfaces of popular router models, such as TP-Link, Eltech And ZTE, as well as system functions of modern operating systems. This will allow you to quickly resolve the issue and restore your internet connection.
⚠️ Note: Router interfaces and firmware versions may be updated by your provider. The menu item layout may differ slightly from that described in the instructions.
Find the password on the router case and in the documentation
The easiest and fastest way to find your network login credentials is to physically inspect the equipment. Almost all routers provided by your ISP Byfly, have a special factory sticker. It is usually located on the bottom or back of the case and contains technical information necessary for initial setup.
On this label you are interested in the field with the name WPA/WPA2 Key, Wireless Password or simply Password. Often indicated nearby SSID — the name of your wireless network, which by default matches the device's model name or MAC address. If the label is legible, you can simply enter this information into the device you're connecting to.
If the sticker is worn off or missing, it's worth looking for your ISP contract or the device's technical data sheet. These documents may also contain the factory settings. However, if the password has ever been changed manually through the router settings, the information on the sticker will be outdated, and you'll have to resort to software methods.
- 🔍 Carefully inspect all edges of the device; sometimes the sticker may be on the side.
- 📄 Check the paper contract or certificate of completion from Beltelecom.
- 🏷️ Look for the words "Key", "Pass", "PIN" or "WiFi Password".
⚠️ Note: If you changed your password through the settings, the information on the factory sticker will no longer work. Use it only if the settings haven't been changed.
Accessing router settings via a browser
The most universal method that works for any router model, be it Eltech 1423, ZTE or TP-Link, is the login to the administrator's web interface. To do this, you'll need a computer or smartphone that's already connected to the router, preferably via cable, but you can also use Wi-Fi if the device already knows the password.
Open any browser and enter the gateway's IP address in the address bar. For Byfly equipment, this is most often 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1The exact address is also indicated on the sticker underneath the device. After accessing the address, the system will request a username and password to access the control panel.
Factory login credentials for the interface are often different from the Wi-Fi password. Standard combinations are admin/admin, admin/1234 or user/userThis information is also duplicated on the factory label. If you previously changed the administrator password and forgot it, you will need to perform a full reset.
What should I do if I forgot my admin password?
If you've changed your router's password and don't remember it, you can't recover it. The only option is to press the Reset button on the device for 10-15 seconds. This will reset the router to factory settings, and the password will be the one on the sticker.
After successful authorization, you'll be taken to the main menu. The interface may differ depending on the model, but the logic remains the same. You need to find the section responsible for wireless networking. It's usually called Wireless, WLAN or Wi-Fi. Within this section, a subsection is searched Wireless Security or Security.
- 🌐 Enter the router's IP address in the browser's address bar.
- 🔑 Use the standard login and password (often admin/admin).
- 📶 Find the "Wireless" tab.
Security settings on different router models
Interfaces of routers used by the provider Beltelecom, can vary significantly. Let's look at the features of password search on popular models. On devices ZTE (often found in old tariffs) you need to go to the menu Network -> WLAN -> SecurityThere in the field WPA Passphrase The current key will be displayed.
For routers Eltech (models 1423, 1408 and others) the path may look like this Setup -> Wireless Setup -> Manual Wireless Network Setup. At the bottom of the page in the field Pre-Shared Key The searched character combination is displayed. On modern devices TP-Link with the updated interface you need to select the tab Wireless, then Wireless Security.
It's important to note that some firmware versions hide the password by default behind asterisks. In this case, there should be a "Show Password" button or a "Display" checkbox next to the input field. If there isn't such an element, you can simply copy the field's contents (even if hidden) into a text editor or browser address bar, where the characters may be displayed in plain text.
Below is a table with approximate paths for popular models to help you navigate the menu:
| Router model | Menu section | Subsection | Field name |
|---|---|---|---|
| Eltech 1423 | Setup | Wireless Setup | Pre-Shared Key |
| ZTE F660 | Network | WLAN Security | WPA Passphrase |
| TP-Link Archer | Wireless | Wireless Security | Password |
| Huawei | WLAN | WLAN Basic Configuration | WPA PreSharedKey |
⚠️ Warning: Do not change other settings in the security section (such as encryption type) unless you are sure of their meaning. Doing so may result in loss of connection to all devices.
Viewing a password on a Windows computer
If you already have a computer or laptop running Windows connected to your Wi-Fi network WindowsThe operating system stores the password in its profile. This makes it easy to find a forgotten combination without accessing the router. The process varies slightly depending on the OS version, but the general principle is the same.
In Windows 10 and 11, right-click the Wi-Fi icon in the system tray (near the clock) and select "Network & Internet settings." Next, find "Network and Sharing Center" or go to "Change adapter settings." In the window that opens, find your active wireless connection, right-click it, and select "Status."
In the status window, click the button Wireless network propertiesA new dialog box will open where you need to switch to the tab SecurityAt the bottom, you'll see the "Network Security Key" field. By default, the characters are hidden behind dots, but you can simply check the "Show entered characters" box to the password was displayed in clear text.
For users who prefer the command line, there's a quicker way. Open the Command Prompt (CMD) as administrator and enter the following command: netsh wlan show profile name="Network_Name" key=clearReplace "Network_Name" with the exact name of your Wi-Fi network. In the command output, find the line "Key Content," which contains the password.
- 💻 Open "Network and Internet Settings" in Control Panel.
- 🔗 Go to the properties of your active wireless connection.
- 👁️ On the "Security" tab, check the box to display symbols.
How to find out your password on Android and iOS
Mobile device owners can also find out the saved password. On smartphones Android (version 10 and above) this feature is built into the system. Go to Wi-Fi settings, tap the gear icon next to your network name, or select "Share" (QR code). The QR code often displays a text password underneath, or can be scanned.
On devices Apple (iOS 16 and later, iPadOS 16+) Apple has made it possible to view saved passwords. Go to Settings -> Wi-FiTap the blue information icon (the letter "i" in a circle) next to the name of the network you're connected to or saved. Tap the "Password" field, and after verifying Face ID or Touch ID, it will become visible.
If you have older operating systems, there may be no built-in viewing function. In this case, you can use third-party apps from official stores (such as QR code generators) that can read the current network configuration if the app has the appropriate permissions. However, built-in OS tools are always more reliable and secure.
☑️ Check access on a mobile device
Byfly mobile app and personal account
Provider Beltelecom is actively developing digital services for subscribers. One way to manage your home network is through the "My Byfly" mobile app or the web version of your personal account. While a direct "show Wi-Fi password" feature may not be available for all models, these services can be used to manage your device.
The app often offers a quick setup or parameter change feature. If your router supports the TR-069 protocol (remote management), you can try changing the password to a new one you already know directly through the app. To do this, find the Wi-Fi network management section and enter a new password.
You can also find information about your plan and connected services in your personal account on the provider's website. Sometimes, when ordering "Parental Control" or "Guest Network," access details may be duplicated in the hardware information section. This applies to new contracts and modern routers that support cloud management.
⚠️ Please note: The functionality of your personal account and app depends on your router model and the type of service provided. Older models may not support remote management.
Resetting your router as a last resort
If none of the above methods work (the password has been changed, the sticker is missing, or it's not saved in Windows), there's a radical but effective option: a factory reset. This will return all router settings, including the network name and Wi-Fi password, to their default state.
On the back of the router, find a small hole marked Reset or DefaultTake a paperclip or toothpick, press the button inside the hole, and hold it for about 10-15 seconds until the lights on the front panel flash simultaneously. After rebooting, the router will use the password indicated on the factory sticker.
Byfly usually requires the router to receive settings automatically, but in rare cases, it may require entering the login and password from the contract into the WAN settings.
- 🔄 Find the Reset button on the router body.
- ⏱️ Hold it for 10-15 seconds until the indicators reboot.
- 🔑 Use the password from the sticker to connect.
