Luckily, there are several official ways to restore access without contacting support.

We'll also explain why some methods may not work (for example, if you have GPON router (port-bound) and what to do in such cases. All instructions are adapted for 2026–2026 hardware and tested for compatibility with the latest firmware versions.

Let us warn you right away: if you are not a network administrator, then It's impossible to legally find out someone else's Rostelecom Wi-Fi password. All methods require access to the router, the contract, or authorization in the personal account. Attempts to hack into other people's networks are subject to administrative liability (Article 13.11 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation).

1. Find out your password through your Rostelecom account

The easiest way is to use web version of your personal account or mobile application Rostelecom Personal AccountThis method works if:

• 🔹 You have access to the phone number or email associated with the contract.
• 🔹 Internet service is active (not blocked due to debts).
• 🔹 The router was provided by the provider (not purchased separately).

Instructions for the web version:

1. Go to the website lk.rt.ru and log in using your phone number.
2. Select a section from the menu Internet → My Devices.
3. Find the block Wi-Fi settings — the network name will be displayed there (SSID) and the current password.

If the password is hidden behind asterisks, tap the eye icon (👁️) next to the field. The process is similar in the mobile app, but the design may differ. Important: Your personal account only displays the password for routers installed by Rostelecom technicians. If you connected your own device, this method will not work.

2. View the password in the router settings

If your personal account doesn't show your password (or you have a third-party router), you can log in admin panel devices. To do this:

First, connect to the router via cable (LAN) or via Wi-Fi (if at least one device is already connected). Then:

1. Open your browser and type in the address bar 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1 (less often - 192.168.8.1 for some models).
2. Enter your username and password to log in. By default, this is often admin/admin, but at Rostelecom There may be your own option (see the sticker on the router).
3. Go to the section Wi-Fi (or Wireless, Wireless network).
4. Find the field Password, Key or PSK password — that's where your security key will be.

On routers Sagemcom (a popular model from Rostelecom) the path looks like this: Advanced Setup → Wireless → Security. U Sercomm — Network → WLAN → Basic.

3. Password on the router sticker - when it works

Many users don't know that original Wi-Fi password It's often listed on the router box itself or on a sticker on the back/bottom of the device. It may be labeled as:

• 🔑 Wi-Fi Password / Network Key
• 🔑 Security key / PSK password
• 🔑 Pre-Shared Key

However, this method will only work if:

• ✅ You have never changed the password after setting up the router.
• ✅ The device was not reset to factory settings.
• ✅ The sticker has not worn off over time (relevant for older routers).

If the password on the sticker doesn't work, it's been changed. In this case, you'll need to use other methods (see the sections above or below).

🍎 macOS

1. Open Programs → Utilities → Keychain.
2. Find your Wi-Fi network name in the list.
3. Check the box Show password and enter your Mac account password.

If the password is not displayed on Windows, try an alternative method via Command line:

netsh wlan show profile name="NETWORK_NAME" key=clear

(replace NETWORK_NAME to the name of your Wi-Fi).

Starting with Android 10, Google has tightened its security policy. Apps are now prohibited from reading Wi-Fi passwords without root access to prevent data leaks through malware.

If your router is connected via GPON (optical cable directly to the ONT terminal), then the Wi-Fi password can be stored in another menu. For example, in the terminal Huawei HG8245H the path will be: Network → WLAN → Security Settings.
