Description
LostMyPassword is a tool for Windows that allows you to recover a lost password, if it's stored by a software installed on your system. LostMyPassword can extract the passwords from popular programs, including Web browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Microsoft Edge, Brave, Internet Explorer, Opera, and more...), POP3/IMAP/SMTP passwords stored by email software (Microsoft Outlook, Thunderbird, Windows Mail), Dialup/VPN passwords stored by Windows operating system, login passwords of remote computer stored by Windows operating system.
You can use the LostMyPassword tool in 2 modes: as normal user, and as Administrator. The Administrator mode is needed for some types of passwords because they cannot be decrypted without Administrator privileges.
If you have 64-bit system, you should use the 64-bit version of LostMyPassword to ensure that you get all passwords stored on your system.
System Requirements
This tool works on any version of Windows, starting from Windows XP and up to Windows 11. Both 32-bit and 64-bit systems are supported.
In order to retrieve all types of passwords on 64-bit system, you have to use the 64-bit version of LostMyPassword.
Notice: On the latest update of Windows 11 (24H2), LSA protection is enabled by default, and this feature blocks LostMyPassword from retrieving passwords stored by Windows operating system.
You can disable the LSA protection by following the instructions on this Microsoft Web page:
