    Hi All :)

    We have a laptop which has a site that we use everyday stored on it. My friend lost the password but it is still saved in Internet Explorer...

    I think its just a .htaccess password.. so its stored in the network user/pass not the stored form thingees..

    Because we are looking at upgrading the laptop we need to get that password out..

    Any ideas?

    I have googled but all i can find is lil paid apps to do it.. couldnt find any documentation or free apps.

    Cheers

    Wolfsta :)

    Most sites which require a password log in generally have a 'Forgotten password' button - doesn't this one?

    Nope, these passwords are kept in an encrypted form in the Windows Registry. I don't know any 3rd party software that can decrypt & save them.
