If you had used Password Corral you would not have had this problem. I suggest you use it when you remember your password... http://www.cygnusproductions.com/

I hope the OP registered his copy...

I don't know if this will work as I don't have xp hide folders but a program called SIW reveals a computers passwords... Hope this will help siw is free.

ALWAYS write down a password (even yer Bank's ATM) SOMEWHERE on hardcopy and disguise it. you don't hafta have a book titled "Internet Passwords" and leave it lying around. i have 3 places around the house here that record my passwords IF i ever ferget them mentally and one is - don't laugh ! - on the inside of the aluminium shed sliding doors in the yard......i was gonna put some on the back door of the dunny, but we have visitors occasionaly LOL hope you get the password back....
