Hi people, I hope this is in the correct group. Anyone know of a component or source for decoding the registry passwords? My friend has forgotten her dial-up password and the dumb-ar... ISP she uses will only mail it to her billing address so the only option is to sit and wait. DUH! I found some software online that will decode all stored passwords probably from the windows registry. I ran the demo but unfortunately the actual password is not displayed in the demo version. She has XP Home on her machine and it showed the dial up connection information but the password was shown as "<evaluation copy>" so I know it can be done.. Since "they" can do it I figured I'd write a rough and dirty to recover it for her rather than wait 3-5 days for the ISP to get off it's collective duff and send the password. There is no "I forgot my password" option on their web site. Ahhhh, doncha just love technology? <vbg> Thanks in advance. -- Gary C.
