MemberI am running the MSN Messenger client version 4.6. The location of this could’ve changed in later versions. You will not find your password there in plain text though, so if you don’t have any clue about decoding it then don’t bother.

ParticipantDo you not have to have auto-log in enabled before you can view the password information?

Well, when you said (hex) i guessed it was coded.
I don’t have a clue about decoding, that is why I asked my officemate to give me a hand on that before anything (anyway it is not really that difficult).
I thought it could have changed location, that is why i searched the register for some similar file name and still didnt find it.
Ok,now, if anyone has a clue, It just occured to me that it would be useful for somebody that logs in automatically and forgets the password, at the same time it could be dangerious for the same reason.
So, if someone knows and wants [/b]to share which is the file where this information can be found…
Thanx.

Search your registry using the Windows Registry Editor (regedit.exe). Search for keys and values like ‘.NET Messenger’ or ‘MessengerService’.

MemberOk, that is what I did as I said before, and I didn’t find it, I searched the registry…
Maybe I am not clear enough…I don’t know…or maybe I am loosing my english skills, but I did search the registry…so, is it because the auto log in feature is turned off??, anybody knows?

ParticipantIf it was an MSN Hotmail Password try these links –
Forgot your password? Reset it here with your secret question – http://go.msn.com/HML/6/13.asp
still can’t remember or get in (perhaps someone has gained access to your account?) then go here – http://registernet.passport.net/contactushm.srf?lc=1033&sd=p
