Trillian / AIM issues

edited July 2008 in Moe's Stupid Technology Tavern
I just downloaded Pidgin for the first time, and I really like it (goes without saying), so I was going to switch away from it from Trillian Pro. I'm going through setting up my accounts, but when it comes to the AIM one, I can't remember the password. I can still log into the account through Trillian because of auto-connect, but I can't get into it any other way. I also don't remember what email address I used to register it, so the normal recovery process is out.

I need either some way to convert the asteriscks to the password (I have access to that screen in Trillian), or a purpose built application that can recover the password from Trillian's settings itself.

Anybody have any suggestions?

    ya, you're screwed.

    you can't convert the asterisks back to letters, because, well, that would make pretty much every password system made in computers in the past 15 years useless.

    What about a purpose-built application that can extract it out of Trillian? I know they have those for zip files and just about everything else I could think of. Some hacker somewhere surely has built one of these.
