To view the security key content of your hostednetwork just open CMD with administration right and type:

netsh wlan show hostednetwork security

and press enter.

100% working.

To reset your password on hosted network, run your cmd as administrator and you then type

Netsh wlan set hostednetwork key=new password

U can then confirm it by checking

Netsh wlan show hostednetwork security

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.
