How can I retrieve a lost password from the Windows Vault?

Is there anyway I can get back a forgotten password that is remembered and stored in my Windows Vault on my Windows 7 Professional laptop?


Solution 1:

Perhaps it's worth trying Network Password Decryptor? It can apparently decrypt the passwords stored in the vault. I've not used it myself though.

[Edit] If that doesn't work there is another program that does a similar thing: Network Password Recovery v1.31 (just make sure you are logged in as an administrator and run it as an administrator) [/Edit]
