There are lots of Linux users who don't care how the kernel works, but
only want to use it. That is a tribute to how good Linux is.

Ok, thanks!
I'm gonna watch!

But don't mistake, I'd like to understand how the Kernel works, I simply don't have enough time to spend for it!
(but Linus is right here, once again...)

No, actually it did not, because nowhere in those websites is an explanation about how and where the master password is stored...

And so, I thought that maybe someone here could know something about it... Is it the case? Cause for the moment, I still don't have my pass back, and I can't any-more look at my mails on my laptop, maybe I should restart a new Thunderbird folder, and copy back all my data inside, but I don't even know if the pass would come back with it!

Si I still need more help on this, thanks to answer if ever you know where is that master password written, and how this stored. Maybe I could even try to crack it back with john password cracker for example, might be long but my computer could be working all day+night long!

This question was expired because it remained in the 'Open' state without activity for the last 15 days.

The matter is now solved for me, I had to all download again...
Crap, but problem solved for me now

Ok, no one knows the solution. I'll just save the pass, for instance in a file in a precise place...
Thank you all for your help, and Vikram Dhillon I'll keep the links...

Ok, problem solved now.

Thanks to you all, and bye!
