    Smile Password recovery [RESOLVED]

    I have forgotten the password for a remote access dialup connection. It's set to "automatically remember" but I now want to set up the same connection in an different computer so I must retrieve the password. Where is it supposed to be stored?

    Please, do.
    I tried the app in my home XP and it turned out the evaluation copy only displays passwords of up to 4 characters.
