Retrieving passwords from IE

Post by Enigma »

How do I retrieve passwords stored by IE? I'm in the process of nuking this computer but I'd like to write down any passwords that have been stored. So how do I get around retrieving them?

hax0r it with Cain and Abel.

It literally has a "list all passwords stored in IE" button:

If any of them turn out to be hashed or encrypted you can also throw them into the built-in cracker to run dictionary attack or brute force em...

PS: Some anti-virus programs may identify it as a virus - it's not.
Though we are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are,--
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.

I've installed the program and yet I can't access it. Windows tells me that it either cannot find it (despite clicking on Cain.exe) or that I do not have permission though I have admin access on XP. Any alternatives?

Thanks. Got the passwords that I needed. Also managed to get Cain to work, it was just XP being borked.
