You don't.

Start with the problem. You want to recover Wi-Fi password? If you can't remember it, then the choices are limited.

The easiest option is probably to use the browser graphical user interface (GUI). (The manual explains how to do that.)

Unless you changed it, and also forgot that password, the access details are on the device.

Go here in a browser:

The wifi password is on the page in front of you.

Alternatively, the desktop genie for your operating system has the same details.

Visit the support pages:

Feed in your model number and check the documentation for your hardware.
