How to Recover Saved Passwords in Dreamweaver

In this article, you’ll learn where Dreamweaver stores your FTP login passwords, how they are protected, and how you can easily recover them.
Dreamweaver Password Secrets
Dreamweaver stores all your FTP login passwords at following Registry location
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Common\[version]\Sites
Here [version] refers to Dreamweaver version number (Example: Dreamweaver CS4 => 10, CS5 => 11, CS6 => 12 etc)
Below this location, seperate Registry key is present for each FTP server configuration.
Each of these Registry key contains Registry value “Host” refering to FTP server address. Below this location, there is Registry key called “Keychain” which contains Registry values “User” & “User PW” refers to encrypted username and password.
Dreamweaver encrypts both username and password using Windows DPAPI functions as shown below.
How to Decrypt Dreamweaver Passwords
Here is sample VC++ program to decrypt Dreamweaver username and password using CryptUnprotectData function
void DecryptPassword(char *passData, int passLen, char *password, int length)
{
DATA_BLOB DataPassword;
DATA_BLOB DataOutput;
DataPassword.cbData = passLen;
DataPassword.pbData = (BYTE *) passData;
if( CryptUnprotectData(&DataPassword, NULL, 0, 0, 0, 1, &DataOutput) == FALSE )
{
printf("CryptUnprotectData failed with error 0x%.8x", GetLastError());
return;
}
memcpy(password, DataOutput.pbData, DataOutput.cbData);
password[DataOutput.cbData] = 0;
printf("Decrypted Password is %s ", password);
}
