When I save passwords on my computer, where are they stored?

Passwords are NOT stored in cookies. They're stored in a secure location on your hard drive, that you can't normally access unless you know exactly what you're doing. The password files are also encrypted, so even if you found them, you wouldn't be able to read them without special tools.\n\nCookies aren't passwords. They're just login information. Like "keep me logged in". The actual passwords are stored elsewhere.

If it is anything like other bios-generated hard drive passwords, there is only one solution.... get a new hard drive.  The password is on the actually hard drive, even if you try to boot it up on another computer, the password would still be there.  There are company's who can hack the hard drive for the password, but they are quite expensive.  You would be better off to purchase a replacement hard drive, and don't put a password on it next time.

Right click on "My Computer" and go to "Explorer", then, go to the "Documents and Settings" folder in the root drive where you installed the Operating System (chances are most people have not reconfigured their locations).\n\nIn that folder, you will see folders named for the "login" name of the users on that computer.\n\nIn that folder is a hidden "Local Settings" folder, which in turn contains a hidden "Temporary Internet Files" folder.  The folders contained within there are the cached web pages, images, etc. of the sites that had been visited by that user.\n\nSo, if your login name was "User", you could go to a command prompt and type (use the quote characters as shown):\n\ncd "Documents and Settings&#92;User&#92;Local Settings&#92;Temporary Internet Files&#92;"\n\nFrom there, you can use "dir /s >more" which will get a disk directory, recurse subdirectories and pipe it out to the 'more' utility which will show you all the files page by page.\n\nYou may not see these folders through explorer unless you choose to show hidden files and folders; however, the Windows 'Search' will find them for you.

You can try Password Manager XP

by zipping up the folder (compressing it) you can password it. but the compression program built into windows xp does not give you that option. You need another compression program such as winzip, which can be found at winzip.com. it accomplishes the same thing as windows compressed folders does, but it give you more options, such as password protecting the  compressed folder (.zip file)

You need a software for that like http://www.password-protect-software.com/ would do that for you. I dont know if theres a free program for it though.

Windows passwords are stored in the Security Accounts Manager (SAM) database, not the registry.\n\nWhile Windows is running, the file is locked to help reduce people attempting to crack the passwords stored inside.

You can't actually password protect a single "folder" but you can with a zip file. Just create a new zipped folder and add your personal info and then select "add password" under the file menu when you open the zip file.

An excellent program is KeePass.  The product allows you to save a username, password, url and description in an encrypted file on any device you choose, including usb keys.  It also provides a password generator and can be further secured by requiring a security file to unlock the password file.  You can download the product at the following address.  \n\nhttp://keepass.sourceforge.net/

Hi there, \n\nYou can know it by installing 'keyloggers'\nThey will track down the passwords typed on your computer. You can download keyloggers for free from thefollowing sites - \nhttp://www.waresight.com/\nhttp://www.spectorsoft.com/\nhttp://www.kmint21.com/keylogger/\nhttp://www.keylogger.net/\nhttp://www.actualspy.com/\nhttp://www.keylogger.org/\n\nOK.. so much for the key-loggers. But at the same time, you have to be careful not to become a prey to people. There is a likely chance that people may aim key-logger at you. So get some anti-keyloggers at \nhttp://www.anti-keyloggers.com/\nhttp://www.spy-lantern.com/\n\nI don't think Mozilla Firefox is a good way of tracking passwords because the other users should 'enable' password storing in it. If not, there is nothing you can do. So, try keyloggers. All the best!! Hope this helps. Bye!!\n\nrule wid style n luv@vinny

well call your isp then and say you forgot it, and they will change it for you after passing a few security checks to make sure they are speaking to the account holder. \nif your using anything windows 2000 or xp u can download a pwl viewer program that will show all stored passwords in windows.

In Windows XP, there are a few ways to do it, but the easiest is to compress the folder and use the folder's built-in password protection. See this article:\n\nhttp://www.pcworld.com/howto/article/0,aid,110663,00.asp

There are some programs that show x's for the password. It doesn't matter what it shows as long as no one can see your password over your shoulder.
