Actually they were there all along, which shows just how useless is Windows Search, by contrast Textpad's Find in Files option found them. So, the full procedure is: 1. <path>\adb backup ... creates backup.ab in the current directory 2. Install or update to the latest Java Runtime Environment, currently 1.8.0_431: https://www.java.com/en/download/help/download_options.html 3. Download Nelenkov's abe*.jar file: https://github.com/nelenkov/android-backup-extractor https://github.com/nelenkov/android-backup-extractor/releases/download/latest/abe-3e9a273.jar Give the command (without the square brackets around the password, they are merely a convention signifying that it is an optional parameter): java -jar <path>\abe-3e9a273.jar unpack <path>\backup.ab <path>\backup.tar [password] The resulting tar file can be extracted by 7-zip. Search the extracted files' contents for an SSID known to be on the device, mine were in: \apps\com.android.providers.settings\d_f\flattened-data -- Fake news kills!
