I guess you are talking about the password stored in password manager.
Hope this link will be helpful
Try Asterisk Key
Asterisk Key - shows passwords hidden under asterisks.
I myself have tried it many times it works nicely but only with IE:|
google for password unhide/password uncover
actually u can reveal ur password under the asterisk…there r umpteen number of softwares for that…click the link below for the free software..this will reveal the password under the asterisk…just install it and drag it over the asterisk and it will reveal ur password in normal text… hope this helps…
SC-PassUnleash download and review - reveal masked passwords from SnapFiles
It depends on how the program is storing your password . If it’s firefox passwod manager then it will easily give u clear text password .
i used a program called “password revealer” back in win98 days to unhide many of my forgotten password. it worked in IE. not sure whether it will run on xp/vista. give it a try
Can’t u get a new password?
