We know that the user ID and password are required to access any of the network resources. And this credential have to be permanently saved. Otherwise, you will have to re-enter your credentials once you restart your computer. That's why we save it permanently. Microsoft Windows saves this data in "Windows Credential Manger".
But sometimes, due to various reasons we have to see the user id and password from this credential manager. But "Microsoft Windows" do not let us see any data from here. Microsoft windows keeps it encrypted. Just like the below:-
So we have to get help from third party software. Today we will discuss this with a software like this.
CredentailsFileView is a complete free software, that allows us to see the user id and password from the credential manager. If you provide only the administrator password or logon password after running the software, it will show all the data of the credential manager.
The full step is shown through the screenshot.
First of all download the software from the below link and run the CredentialsFileView.exe file. This is a portable version that's why there is no need to be installed anything.
After running the software you will get the following interface.
Now select the root folder from drop down menu and type your windows logon password or administrator password. And then press "ok".
Now you will get all the information what is stored into the credential manager. And the data is plain text mode.
