Hi,

I forgot my FreeStyler password.
How can I change it(without re-install)?

After the reinstall, freestyler ask me again "Enter your Password:"?!
I have cleaned the registry with "CCleaner" and it´s still not working?!

Any idea?

Which registry entry contains the password?

No idea?

Ok, no problem ;)

I´m going to reinstall Windows(with Backups), because I´ll need it tomorrow.

I understand your hurry, but please don't kick your topic so quickly after your last post. If you want to add some useful info in such a short time, then just edit your last post. :)

I'm not sure where FreeStyler stores its passwords, but it could be that when you restore a FreeStyler backup file, that you restore the password with it. So maybe do a check on another computer to test that.

On Windows:
Start -> Execute -> "RegEdit"
You will finde a Key like "Computer\HKEY_USER\...\Software\VB and VBA Program Settings\Freestyler\Settings" where ... means your User-ID.
There is an entery "Password". You can simply edit the field and enter your new password or you can delete the password field - then FS does not require a password then anymore since you set a new one in FS Setup.
Sorry for answering late. But just found out on my owne (by trying) and had no time to try til now. Hope it is still early enough for you...
