I have been using a small program called Autologon where I enter my
logon details the enable it so that I am automatically logged onto
windows. I now need my password so that I can access a networked
computer, so is there anywhere in the registry I can get it back from?
Thanks

Somewhere in here:
[-]HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\LSA =
You will need a third-party to read the Encrypted Info there?.
Or you can search for Password retriever from Nersoft I think!.

Hi Bob,
Sorry, the correct path is:
[-]HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa
an
CurrentControlSet01
CurrentControlSet02
etc.
But as I said you will need a third party to read these encrypted Security
Keys.
Look for password retriever and you will be able to see in palin text your
Stored password on your system.

Not sure how helpful this link will be, but I think it's worth a look.
