How to find the wireless password on Mac OS X

I keep forgetting how to do this and I always have to look it up.  So writing a reminder note...


1. Launch Spotlight. Command (⌘) Space will launch Spotlight so you don't have to use the mouse




2. Click on Keychain Access Application


4. Click on the System tab. It's in the top left. The default is login. See pic below




5. Find the SSID of key that you are trying to recover and double-click on it


6. Select the 'Show Password' checkbox
7. Enter your admin password 
 And viola! You have the password.
