Answer 4

Hosted network settings are stored in windows registry. See at the key : HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WlanSyc\Parameters\HostedNetworkSettings. The password may be there.

In my opinion, the simplest way is that reboot the computer, and reconstruct wlan network through the netsh command.
