I think you are misunderstaning something. There is absolutely nothing illegal about programs that retrieve old password installed on my own computer.
I understand it perfectly though, and I never said it would be illegal if it is on your own computer retrieving your own password.
I said such tools could be abused. And since there is no way of knowing if you (or anyone else who reads these posts!!!) are going to use them for the proper reasons, I fail to see why we should brake the forum rules and provide you with tools which make it very easy for abusers to misuse them. While on the same time there is a perfectly safe method to get your passwords again with the method I described in previous post.

I think you don't understand it. You can not reset a password from someone else, since the mail which will be send with confirmation and the new password will be send to the owner of the account, not to the one who resets the password.
Why don't you follow the steps I've given? If you're the owner of the account, then you have your passwords in no time.
I think i tried to explain why i can't retrieve it that way. and i got your point, so why dont you just ignore this asking for help, if you are not willing to help?? i think myself and others have gotten your point!
btw; here is a tool that could be used for very illegal things:
http://www.nero.com/eng/Downloads.html (actually people who have abused it have gone to jail.
however i'm posting the link because the program itself livesaving for people who actually need it and use it properly. thus we can't judge everyone because some people have bad intention (the same way you cant ban knives because a few people kill others with them).
so to end stupid discussion please do not repeat your point, or start a thread somewhere else..thank you
and help to solve my problem is still needed! thanks.
