How can I get my logon p/word

[Bob H]

I have been using a small program called Autologon where I enter my
logon details the enable it so that I am automatically logged onto
windows. I now need my password so that I can access a networked
computer, so is there anywhere in the registry I can get it back from?
Thanks

Somewhere in here:
[-]HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\LSA =
You will need a third-party to read the Encrypted Info there?.
Or you can search for Password retriever from Nersoft I think!.

Hi Bob,
Sorry, the correct path is:
[-]HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa
an
CurrentControlSet01
CurrentControlSet02
etc.
But as I said you will need a third party to read these encrypted Security
Keys.
Look for password retriever and you will be able to see in palin text your
Stored password on your system.
