Is there any way to reset or remove the master password?
And THIS is totally wrong, I have no such Directories!:Old answer:
RemoveConfiguration\Security
key in configuration. If you are using Registry storage for configuration, remove
Also remove all[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Martin Prikryl\WinSCP 2\Configuration\Security]Password
values for sessions. - What does That mean and How-To?
Pls. AdviceForgotten Master Password
When you forget your master password, there is no way to recover it, nor the protected passwords.
You can at least reset WinSCP back to unprotected state. Naturally, you lose all the protected passwords.
To reset master password, removeConfiguration\Security
configuration section/key.
You also need to remove all protected passwords. For this, search for and remove allPassword
,ProxyPasswordEnc
andTunnelPassword
values from configuration subsections/subkeys of Sessions section/key. Alternatively, if you are going to set a new master password: While doing that WinSCP will prompt you for previous master password once for every lost password. Just cancel those prompts withEsc
