WinXP dialup settings stored where?

Hi everyone,

On my mother-in-law's WinXP computer, there are two profiles set up
that use the dialup ISP account she has: Geri and Amanda. Both
profiles have the "Save Password" box checked, but one time Geri
accidentally typed a different password into the password box, and of
course the login failed, but then the correct password was gone.
Amanda can still login using the correct username and password, but
Geri can't login anymore. Nobody remembers what the correct password
is, and knowing that is stored somewhere on the computer in a file or
RegEdit, I would like to copy the dialup account information from
Amanda's profile over to Geri's profile so everyone can be happy
again.

Does anyone know where the dialup settings are physically stored on
the computer so I can copy them from Amanda's profile back over to
Geri's profile?

Thanks in advance,
Isaac

Ask your ISP?

I don't know how to find out the correct password, but if you contact
your ISP, they should be able to help you RESET your password. This time
around, make sure you write the password down, or choose one that is
easier to remember.
