How decrypt Eudora 7 password in eudora.ini?

[nicola]

I lost the password for the "dominant" account in Eudora 7.

Is the password stored in SavePasswordText in eudora.ini?

I seem to recall it is quite weak encryption and the last time I had to do
this it was easy to get an online utility to convert the hex to text.

How do I decrypt it?

Can't you go to your ISP webpage and request a new password there. I
haven't done this afaicr, but it's not Eudora that assigns passwords.
It only records them.

After you do this, you may have to click on Special / Forget
Passwords for Eudorat to forget what it thinks and to ask you to enter
the new actual password.

if you really want to decrypt a password in the ini file, I suspect you
are trying to spy on someone else's email. Shame, shame, shame.

GO IN SPECIAL,SELECT NO PASSWORD FOR DOMINANT. THEN APPEARS "NEW PASSWORD. "

Unless your dominant email account is not provided by your ISP, it
should be the same as your ISP login password.

It's BASE-64 -- not even encrypted...

Your password, in encoded form, is in this line in eudora.ini:

SavePasswordText=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

To decode it you can use one of the many on-line available Base64
decoders such as this one:
