Thanks. Let me explain : Last night, i had a "little" Kobo crash. Reboot solved almost everything except that i lost my wifi password (very long and secured password). I was dreaming of a simple copy/paste operation instead of typing it again.

Inquiring minds might want to know why you are attempting to find the password for the WiFi network? If it is your home network, you should already have it and if it is an external network, ask whomever you originally obtained the password from for the password.
