Re: Recover Yahoo MEssenger password

["Naren" <naren () pactech net>]

Well .. thanks for the advices ..

I got a software, called ypass.exe - which short of decrypts the stored
Yahoo messenger password, from the system registry.

Actually the customer just plainly forgot his password, though he remembers
his user-id, as well as the secret questions .. and did not want to try out
the process online, whereby he may actually end up locking his account !

Thanks all.
