Is there a way to see Windows account password as a text/file stored in the computer?

I dont matter if it's encrypted or not, just, can I?

Nope. There are probably ways to hack it out but certainly would take some digging and wouldn't just be a file just sitting out in the open.

There are tools for blanking Windows passwords, but there aren't any that will decrypt an existing password and show it to you.

 

For one thing, storing passwords in clear text or reversible scrambling is a security nightmare.
