I need to find my password for the WIFI internet. I have window 10 home version 1607
product ID 00326-10000 000000-aa007
I have seen where people can find the password through network, internet and then password and ask for it to be uncoded but I can nof find it on my softward....I have a PC all in one which has a nice big screen so this old guy can read ok but just can not find it. Googled it on line and there are sites to help but it doesnt help my system. So I am asking for help please.

The WiFi "password" is set on the WiFi router, NOT on your PC. When you go to connect to the WiFi from a PC, you have to provide the "password" that the router wants to see.
We have no possible way from here to tell you what password is set on your router -- that is done either by the factory (and in that case, that information will be on the router case), or when the router is first configured by its user.
Routers have the option to be reset, and when that happens, they will then assume an IP address and password that is the default for that model.
You will either need to use another PC to access your router to find the password, or you will need to Google the model number to see how to reset it (there is usually a button on the case), and then what the default IP address and password happen to be.
In older routers, the default password was the same for all routers of the same model, but in newer routers, the manufacturers have been configuring each router with a unique password -- and when they do that, they print it on a label on the case.
Good Luck
