Windows password manager???

How do you access password manager? I think I need to modify a password and I can't find the manager.

If you need windows to remember your passwords or it does not work, this is from the IE explorer help:

To adjust AutoComplete settings

You can configure AutoComplete to save and suggest only the information you want. You can choose whether to use AutoComplete for Web addresses, forms, and passwords, or not use it all. You can also clear the history for any of these.

In Internet Explorer, on the Tools menu, click Internet Options.
Click the Content tab.
Under Personal information, click AutoComplete.
Select the check boxes for the AutoComplete options you want to use.

Your passwords are encrypted in the registry and this article explains how and where your passwords are stored and remembered.

http://pubs.logicalexpressions.com/P...LPMArticle.asp
?ID=348

It deals with the registry and if you are not used to working with it is for the advanced user and I'd advise against messing with it. You can look, but don't touch.


Check this out.... it will reveal you passwords that you or IE autocomplete enters into the login box:

Hope this helps

Most forums (including this one ) have a "forgot your password" link beside the login .

Click on that and enter your email , and your password will be mailed to you ..
