Password List Problem

I don't know what happened, but recently, my password list is not working. I frequently go to several websites for school that need me to enter a password. For convenience, I kept my passwords saved in the list. Now, it is not working and I was hoping someone out there could help me out.

My guess is your password file is corrupted,so;
If you are having problems with your password and you are confident that you are typing it correctly, you should delete the .pwl files on your computer. Deleting these files does not have an adverse effect, as Windows automatically regenerates them as needed.

To delete the .pwl files on your computer, follow these steps:

Click the Start button. Select Search, then click Files or Folders.

In the "Named:" box, type *.pwl .

In the "Look In:" box, from the drop-down menu, select My Computer.

Click Find Now.

Windows will search your computer and list the files on the lower half of the screen. You can then click a file to select it, and press the Del key to remove it.

You should restart your computer to reset the password files.

*I would compile a list of your p-words as you will need to re-enter some/all of them.
