Lost WiFi password

So I had a houseguest recently when I was away for the weekend, I come home and shortly after they've left I go to get my WiFi card out of the router as I need it for my Xbox, I can't find it anywhere and was wondering if anyone has ever lost the WiFi password card and what to do if you don't find it?

It should also be present as a sticker in the slot where the card used to be.

@DarkQueen 

This is why you take a photo! 

If you're connected to WiFi on your phone, tablet ,PC, you should be able to obtain details from your WiFi settings or as @Matt_124 says on the back of the router. 

Thanks

No, @Matt_124 , with the SH+ the slot where the card used to be is a big black blank; no label.

@DarkQueen : Try logging into it @ http://192.168.1.254 & then go to the Advanced > Advanced Wireless page. It should then ask you for the admin pwd. If your browser has remembered it from previously you should be able to see it in clear. Make a permanent record of this admin pwd. You should then be able to see your WiFi password in clear & change it if you like. Make a permanent record of this WiFi pwd.

There are ways to view/share WiFi passwords in both Android and iOS if you have a smartphone running either of those operating systems that is still able to connect to the hub’s WiFi.

I wish there wasn't! Why when I allow a guest to use my WiFi should they be able to pass my pwd around? It's a breach of my privacy! Fortunately I have set up a Guest network with a distinct pwd to help circumvent this hurdle.
