Picasa lost (forgotten) password

My question:
Is there a way to recover hidden files when I forgot the password? It won't allow me to do anything until I use the correct password.
P. S. It doesn't do any good to call me nice words. I have already do that.
Thank you,
Rusty

Rusty, Belarc Advisor can retrieve some passwords.

The free download is what you'd want to look for.

Isn't there a password folder on your windows computer? On my mac there is a folder called key chain that holds all my passwords.

I have way too many passwords!!! Even this damn computer requires a 9 digit password to turn it on. (Why? It's my personal computer at my house where no unauthorized person can access it.) I went on E-Bay years ago; had a password. Then years later I lost a battery charger in a Delaware River flood and the only place I could get a replacement was on E-Bay. Great! Make a deal, good price, and then I go to pay. Need my password! Can't remember the damned password!! E-Bay recognizes my e-mail and won't let me create a new identity with a new password!!!

Lost the deal. Got booted off E-Bay. (Far as I know I am still persona non grata.) Eventually threw away an excellent cordless drill set because I had no charger. Damn Passwords!

I use LastPass to keep track of passwords, but it's still annoying. For some reason, I can't sign in to one Win10 computer without using a password.
