Stored password recovery

Hi,
If you have the Standard Edition the password is not stored in the session, it's in the Windows Credential Manager. Can you confirm that it's stored locally ?

Thank you for the reply.
Yes, I see it stored in Windows Credential Manager.
Now I just need to do some more research and figure out how to retrieve it.

Hi,
I did a special version for you.

1. Download this file: http://remotedesktopmanager.com/download/Devolutions.RemoteDesktopManager.Bin.5.6.0.5.zip
2. Create a backup of your database (connections.mdb)
3. In the application option, set the debug level to 100
4. Open your connection embedded and the password will prompt to you
5. Rollback to another version of RDM

Let me know if it's work for you

Thank you for the special treatment. Here is what I did:
1. Extracted the custom version into a new directory
2. Copied my Connections.mdb to the new directory
3. Lunched the app from within the new directory
4. Set the debug level to 100, but after I clicked ok the debug level kept going to "3"
5. Lunched the connection that I need to recover password for and it went right through. But, it did not prompt me with the password.

Since the password is stored in Windows Credential Manager like you mentioned earlier I started looking for a tool that can read passwords from WCM.
I found a tool called Network Password Recovery v1.20 and here are the steps I needed to take:
1. Download the tool from link
2. Extracted the files to a new temporary directory
3. Temporarily elevated my Vista account to Administrator
4. Run the tool (there is no need for installation, tool is self contained) and in few sec I had a list of all the account names and passwords that are stored in WCM for my account profile
5. Returned my Vista account to Standard

Dhervieux, thank you very much for all your help and hope this thread will help others.

So I recovered my embedded password and everything is good

David, I'm in the same situation as mentioned bellow - unfortunatelly the trick you've mentioned above didn't help.
Any chance to restore my passsword?

What type of data source do you use?

David, mdb to store connections and password is stored in the database. If you need - I can send you "hash" from export session file trough PM.

The Alt+Shift+Ctrl+Enter should work, do you receive an error?

Recieved following error once

Other times nothing happends at all - just connecting to the server.

Hi,
What version of RDM do you use? This error is not related.

That was an error from 6.6.0.0
And nothing happened using Devolutions.RemoteDesktopManager.Bin.5.6.0.5.zip suggested above.

Ok,
Have you tried to rename the file remotedesktopmanager.cfg in %LocalAppData%\Devolutions\RemoteDesktopManager
