Can anyone tell me how to get internet explorer to again start automatically filling in usernames and passwords? It used to and then my laptop kind of crashed and now the info doesn't automatically fill in anymore. The problem is that I don't know one of my needed passwords and there is no way to figure out what it is, unless IE can fill it in for me again. I know that sounds crazy because you can usually just click the "forget you password" link or just reset it, but this particular website won't let me do any of that. It's this music torrent thing and I'll never be able to get back into it if I can't obtain my password.
If anyone has any ideas, that will be awesome, thanks!!
H said to go to the gear on the top right corner click on Tools> Internet options>> content > auto complete. What boxes are not checked? If forms is checked and usernames and passwords is already checked than possibly the website doesn't support auto fill anymore. Some no longer do due to security. You can possibly recover the password with a auto fill recovery tool. He said if you google it you can probably find one.

Thanks, I downloaded the Internet password recovery toolbox free thing but looks like I have to purchase it for it to display my passwords that are longer than 4 letters. Argh, frustrating.
