Austrian Strategist Posted May 25, 2002 Share Posted May 25, 2002 If you *FORGET YOUR OWN PASSWORD* , is there a way to retrieve it from your system? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firefly Posted May 25, 2002 Share Posted May 25, 2002 No. If you could you could also decrypt your opponent's password. The only time it happended to me was during the set-up phase and I simply apologised to my opponent and we started again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austrian Strategist Posted May 25, 2002 Author Share Posted May 25, 2002 I hoped the game would maybe store your own password unencrypted on your system. This is what I do anyway (in a text file), but in my 4th game I forgot it. Gnnn! :mad: Now my opponent will have to set up again on a new map. Thanks, anyway.

mrcobbler Posted May 25, 2002 Share Posted May 25, 2002 Two good ways to never permanently lose your password: Use PBEM Helper, a nice PBEM utility that saves your password so you never have to type it in. OR Pick a poster on your wall in front of your computer (everyone has one, right?) and always choose your password from off that poster, either a persons name, a place, a light saber.... Then when you forget it you can start typing in one after the other until you hit the right one. Shoeman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be adopted, since my memory for passwords, phone numbers and the like is like a sieve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
