Not sure if this matters to anyone, but in the directory data/wifi there is a file bcm_supp.conf that will show you the SSID and password of any wifi networks your phone has remembered.

I came across this while roaming through my device.

This might be useful to know I suppose.

I believe you need to be rooted to explorer these directories..

I guess it all the networks and the respective userids & pwds are stored in the /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf file..... :)
