How to Find or Recover the Windows7 HomeGroup Password

Windows 7 allows you to create a homegroup and add multiple computers to this homegroup for easier file or printer sharing. If you have multiple computers at your workplace, you can connect all of them via LAN or wireless Wi-fi and create a simple homegroup in Windows7.
