In response to Andrews' comments, I think I need to clarify these.  In 
particular, the adb command given is probably wrong, because, after all 
the attempts to uninstall and reinstall Perl and Java the actual command 
I gave had fallen off the end of the DOSKey list, so I wrote it, late 
last night, from memory.  However, I got it from here and can now tell 
that I must have misremembered it (312-314):

https://gist.github.com/Pulimet/5013acf2cd5b28e55036c82c91bd56d8

So the (corrected) full procedure is:

1.    <path>\adb backup -all -f backup.ab

.... 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

4.    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]

5.    The resulting tar file can be extracted by 7-zip.

6.    Search the contents of the extracted files for an SSID known to be 
on the device, mine were in:

\apps\com.android.providers.settings\d_f\flattened-data
