i created a "master password" in firefox to secure all of my other
passwords. i forgot the password, and now i am locked out of all my
other passwords. i get tons of pop ups asking for the "master
password" when i open firefox, and i some times can't close them all,
so i have to kill firefox. i know i made it something easy that could
be broken with a dictionary brute force attack, but the brute force
program i found on google is made for windows. any ideas what i can
do?
You didn't write down your master password? Even as single letters
scattered
around a sheet of random scratchings? Or as a mnemonic? A piece of paper
you carry in your wallet? Stored it in an entirely different context
such as
your toolbox or in a book. Too bad.
This is a little off the wall, but you don't have to use a brute force
attack. Your
subconscious knows the password. So you can ask your subconscious
to let you remember it. Say something like "I wonder how quickly and easily
I can remember the master password?" over and over to yourself, and it
should
just pop into your head when you aren't expecting it.
Another option is to use self hypnosis or go to a hypnotist and have them
hypnotize you so you can 'remember' it.
If you can get out of your way while you are typing the password, your
'muscle
memory' might just type it for you. This is another way to access your
subconscious.
