I would like to back up the passwords list for web surfing incase my computer
crased. I can't seem to find the file. It used to be .pwl in earlier
versions of windows. I did a search of files and folders, but nothing was
found. Thanks.
 
The unsecure pwl method went out with ME. Passwords are stored in an
encrpyted and protected area of the registry. You can use third party
software to manage passwords, but I would advise against it. Use the old
write it down and remember it method.
 
Hi

You'll have to try and remember them. There may be some 3rd party programs
available, but I don't know of any off hand.
 
Look in Help/Support; search for "password reset disk"
