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.
