I think I read on the PT forums that you should do Start -> Run -> "regedit" and CTRL+F "PSQL_SETTINGS" and it will yield your PW. It didn't work for me but my SQL is buggy I think.

You could download a password cracker and crack your own password. This is a legitimate use of such a program - for finding forgotten passwords.

Dean,

have to be using Postgres database format, right? I'm not even sure PT can password protect the default MDB Access format databases...
