hi!
I connected my laptop to my girlfriend wireless lan a mounth ago. But I didn't save the password and now I have to connect my pc (but using windows, not arch.. ) to this wlan.
Of course, my girlfriend lost the sheet with all passwords and usernames.
so I opened wicd dialog box, but in the Key Form there is a strange code (i'm not sure that is the password i tiped a mounth ago).
how can i revert this code to the original password? there is some tool or i have to reset the router and change all the device's passwords?

Hi, as far as i know wicd stores passwords plainly readable. The one displayed in wicd-client is the same as in the file located in
/var/lib/wicd/configurations/
If stored you should be able to recover the password either way.
He who says A doesn't have to say B. He can also recognize that A was false.

hi, i found the file /var/lib/wicd/WHEREAREMYFILES. it links to the file /etc/wicd/wireless-settings.conf, where are stored all the passowrds.
thank you

And your passwords are safe, because only root is allowed to read those files.

as the matter of fact, that's the most important thing!
