Using Password List Editor

If password caching is enabled, Windows 95 caches passwords in the password list file when you connect to a password-protected network resource. Password List Editor (PWLEDIT) allows you to view the resources listed in a user's password list file (.PWL). It does not allow you to view the actual passwords, but it allows you to remove specific password entries if problems are encountered using a cached password.

Password List Editor works only if the password list file is unlocked, that is, if the user is logged on. It can be used to view only the contents of the logged-on user's password list file, so you should run it on the user's computer.

Password List Editor can be found in the ADMIN\APPTOOLS\PWLEDIT directory on the Windows 95 compact disc.

To install Password List Editor

1. In the Add/Remove Programs option in Control Panel, click the Windows Setup tab, and then click Have Disk button.
2. In the Install From Disk dialog box, click Browse. Type the path name to \ADMIN\APPTOOLS\PWLEDIT\PWLEDIT.INF, and then click OK.
3. In the Have Disk dialog box, click Password List Editor, and then click Install.

To run Password List Editor
