Re: Desperate for Stored Password

[Mel]

no master password set, here's the deal. I wanted to do my routine password change on the server, so I did. I have an pw protected http site. using Moz I visited it put in the site, stored the pw and went on vacation (literally). Well my brain went on vacation and I can't remember the pw. I reset about 5 id's on the server to the same password too. Now I can't login because one of those id's was also the admin id. If anyone in the Moz or NS world can help me out I would really appreciate it, thanks.

This is only compounded by the fact that I came back exhausted from my vacation, my 17 month old daughter came back with both ears and throat infected and my wife a stomach virus and we have folks coming over on Thursday for dinnner, gotta love when sh*t happens.

Needless to say, this hasn't been the best week for me.

Thanks,

If you forgot the mozilla "master password" for the software encryption device, there's not much that can be done to help you. Sorry.

That's why IE is much better. Even if you lost your password, if it was
very short (less than ten characters), you remember at least pieces of
it (every piece is helpful) and you have much time by your hands, your
chances are good that you can restore your stored passwords in maybe
some hours.

I currently use Chimera on my Mac PC at work, Mozilla on my Linux PC at
work and Phoenix on my Windows PC at home. It would be so great if I
could sync all stored password data between these three browsers with a
single mouse click and that would be possible, if Mozilla developers had
used an open source file format (some XML extension) that contains all
information to process the file within the file itself.
