Phoenix doesnt have anything to do with this. It can only reset the lock preferences password (which is in fact very easy to do by yourself).

Windows doesn't store the password anywhere...
And passwords don't have to be stored somewhere anyways. Password are often used as encryption keys (which is the case in Messenger Plus!) The Key is used to calculate the encryption/dycryption and thus it isn't needed to store it at all.

Totally useless...
Each application and program that uses passwords use the passwords in different ways and if they are stored they are stored all in a different way. Windows has got nothing to do with this. Programs of which you speak of don't exist in a sense that each password finder program is specifically designed to find password for certain programs. There is no such thing as a magic all-around password finder.

EDIT: I may be wrong but it looks a little suspicious wanting to get into encrypted logs... I bet there someone elses and you want to see or something. Sorry if im bieng rude 
He doesn't want to spy on logs from other people, he encrypted his own logs and "lost" the password...
