Where can I find the passwords that Windows saves when I check the box to
have the password saved?

Why do YOU need to know? They aren't anywhere that YOU can read them.

It's a password I used a long time ago that I don't remember. That's why I
had Windows save it. It's for my router and I'm trying to get my son's Wii
online.
Thank you so much for your help though.

First, check to see if your router has a method to reset to
default settings that doesn't involve accessing the
configuration page.

If that's not an option, you might want to try this program.

YOU will not be able to look it up. If you could, there would be no
point to using passwords at all. Saving it in some history means it
will expire or get pushed out eventually. The password for your router
is, well, stored in your ROUTER! The copy, even if it still existed
after so long of non-use, that is saved in Windows does not itself
mandate the password used by the router. Go read the documentation for
your router. You'll probably have to reset the router and then you can
specify a new password, if needed or wanted.

In the future, and if you want some means of recalling password (whether
you created them or someone else), use something like PasswordSafe (go
to sourceforge.net). However, it does use a safety password to make
sure not just any bozo can get at the passwords list contained in its
database, so you will have to remember that password. It comes in handy
for little used password and also those that you never will remember
(because they aren't easily to discover word strings).

Nothing you can do will retrieve the password from Windows for your
router. It's gone. The cache where it was stored doesn't have it
anymore. You will need to see if reseting the router lets you back in
to it. Use something to store your password if you can't figure out an
algorithm that will work regardless of what site, host, or device that
requires it.

Though I can't swear in here, and I'd very much like to, I'll tell you this. You may think your so smart and can talk to other people like dirt, but this make's you the dirt, I very much doubt you passed high school judging by your english above^^. I think maybe you should think before you say next time, your not getting any respect from many people this way.. No reply required, I can tell already it would be some rudely defensive smart-ass comment.
