However, being the retard I am, Ive lsot the piece of paper, and left only with a password that is displayed as astericks's as my computer saved it.

Is there any way to delve into the computer and get this password back?

Many thanks.

Tools>Options>Security tab>Saved Passwords>Show Passwords

Then hit yes and you see them. But I don't think IE has that feature...remember, Microsoft sucks, get Firefox!

Don't write it down. Ever.

What was it for? Dependant on what it was for, different options to recover it.

It was a random jumble of letters and numbers, no way to remember it.

It was an internet one, luckily it has been saved on the computer, but if I need to restart it or anything im screwed.

Actually, that's not the current wisdom. The advice is actually to keep all your passwords written down in something password protected (you can get enough software for storing passwords in) and then make each password very hard to remember and nothing to do with you. Then use a single very strong password that you can remember and never write down to protect them all.

Can you work out the code?
