Stored passwords

[fantom105]

hi all,

Can anyone advise if there is a way to do what I need ??

Senario

A pc running W7 pro 64bit has had it's hard disk replaced with one that has had w7 pro pre-installed on it.

I've lost/misplaced my login details to lots of sites, but I know they were stored in my browser (IE).

I've found the stored passwords program on this forum, but I would imagine it will only allow me to run it on an active windows hdd (ie. the hdd the pc has booted from).

Is there a way to recover stored usernames/email addresses and password from a secondary/slave hdd ???

TIA

try IE PassView - Password Manager Program for Internet Explorer

did you use this mode

Reading IE7 passwords from external drive

Starting from version 1.15, you can also read the passwords stored by IE7 from an external profile in your current operating system or from another external drive (For example: from a dead system that cannot boot anymore). In order to use this feature, you must know the last logged-on password used for this profile, because the passwords are encrypted with the SHA hash of the log-on password, and without that hash, the passwords cannot be decrypted.
You can use this feature from the UI, by selecting the 'Advanced Options' in the Options menu, or from command-line, by using /external parameter. The user profile path should be something like "C:\Documents and Settings\admin" in Windows XP/2003 or "C:\users\myuser" in Windows Vista/2008. Be aware that you must run iepv.exe as administrator in order to use this feature.
