Chat logs - forgotten password by kelly welly on 05-29-2007 at 04:21 PM

well ive forgotten the password that i created for my msn chat logs, so i was wondering if there is anyway that i can recover it or anything, or whether they are just lost forever??
thanks :D

You can't put a pw on msn chat logs (through WLM itself..) however you can on Plus! chat logs so i assume you mean those, in wich case i have to tell you: lost forever.

oh noooo ... :( oh well, thanks for telling mee
there should be like a forgotten password thingy!! haha cant believe i was so stupid and forgot it :|


RE: Chat logs - forgotten password by Sunshine on 05-29-2007 at 04:32 PM

Write it down somewhere (not too obvious) or don't encrypt at all. ;)

lol!! god i wish i hadnt now, ahh well...is there anyway i can just delete the password off it???


RE: Chat logs - forgotten password by Sunshine on 05-29-2007 at 04:39 PM

Yep, just turn off encryption in the preferences (plus > preferences > conversations > logs encryption) and the next chat won't be pw encrypted anymore.

edit: you're welcome :)

no... You need your password to decrypt them.

Decrypting is "taking the password of" so you can read the log as a normal text file.
