How to restore passwords signons3.txt? And how works signons.sqlite?

I had to restore my operating system. I could get places.sqlite to restore the bookmarks (good!). I could find a signons3.txt (dated July 2013) this file will be not complete or up to date, but at least it puts me somewhere before.

I have read that I need a signon3.txt file to go with the key3. I don't have one. I found a file dated September 2014 signons.sqlite. I moved these two files in my profiles folder, but I don't fit my old password.

Is it possible for me to use the old key3? Do the key3 and sign must be dated the same thing? Is it possible to recreate the signons.txt?

I have the password.

Thanks for help.

Signons3.txt file store the encryption key used to encrypt and decrypt passwords.
Encrypted names and passwords are stored in the logins.json file.
The file signons.sqlite is no longer used in current versions since Firefox 32.

You must move the logins.json and key3db files in the current profile folder to retrieve passwords.

  • Key3db and signons.sqlite are breaking Firefox.

    Earlier today, starting Firefox (and only FF - IE worked / works very well) is no longer load google or youtube or some other sites, but instead to give this screen "could not load", he would keep trying to load and would just never got anywhere. The window would not be too close in any way, except for the Task Manager. After uninstalling, reinstalling, reset and all the usual mess, I started to look at the profile and seem to have reduced the problem until signons3.txt and signons.sqlite or maybe just key3.

    Deleting key3 corrects both loading and closing of issues, but the problem of loading is returned immediately if I save passwords and that you restart FF. So now, I don't know what to do to get it working again.

    You will lose all saved password if you deleted the signons3.txt file because this file stores the encryption key for the file signons.sqlite.
    I can hardly imagine that a problem with this file would cause such a question.
    It would be preferable to (re) move the file signons.sqlite as well to avoid problems with the password manager if you cannot restore the file signons3.txt.

    Ever had problems with the recording and display of passwords?

    Have you tried safe mode to see if an extension is the cause?

  • How can I import my old passwords of key3.db key3 and files for the new firefox signons.sqlite 41.0?

    I recently updated my PC and my old hard drive in system is placed as a slave in my new PC. Seen key3 and signons.sqlite key3.db files of the old firefox, how to import passwords saved in the new firefox 41.0?

    Thank you.

    How old was the older Firefox? Firefox 33 and then use this pair of files:

    • logins. JSON -. saved passwords.
    • signons3.txt - this file stores your database key for your passwords.

    If you want to move the old in your current profile (to replace new empty files for the most part), this is the fastest way to open your folder of the currently active profile. Either:

    • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > troubleshooting information
    • (menu bar) Help > troubleshooting information
    • type or paste everything: in the address bar and press Enter

    In the first table of the page, click on the view file"" button. This should launch a new window that lists the various files and folders in Windows Explorer.

    Leave this window open, switch back to Firefox and output, either:

    • "3-bar" menu button > button "power".
    • (menu bar) File > Exit

    Pause while Firefox finishing its cleanup, then rename logins.json to something like logins.old and key3db to something like key3.old.

    Now copy the old two files in this folder.

    Launch Firefox back up again. These connections are available?

  • How can I restore passwords from backup in the computer?

    Recently I have backup my computer factory quite a reset. When I restored it all he did not return the registered mozilla bookmarks or passwords. I was able to find and restore bookmarks but have not been able to restore passwords. I am looking for a solution to find and store, copy or print the list of passwords in the backup copy.

    Thank you

    You can only access the passwords stored in signons.sqlite if you have the correct signons3.txt file that stores the encryption key to decrypt the names and passwords.
    If copy the two files in the current Firefox profile folder does not work then you will have a file signons3.txt evil.

    Make sure that you have copied both files to the correct location with Firefox closed.

    You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:

    Hi noswam123,

    If a PDF file is password protected, the only way to open this document is the password. You must obtain this password from the person who created the PDF file.

  • Since my computer says my password is incorrect, and I can't find my disk how can I reinstall Windows 7? It requires a password to start

    My system rebooted since an update and when I tried to enter my password it says that it was incorrect.  I tried to enter my old password and that has not worked.  I have searched everywhere for my password reset disk and can't find it.  I went on the internet to see if there was anything that I could do and he said that I have to reinstall Windows 7 on laptop.  I tried and the first thing he did was ask for my password that he rejected.  The other user can login but is not an administrator, so she can't help me.  I ran full system antivirus and it says that my system was safe and no virus found.  Is any help available?

    No, you don't need to a password to re - install Windows, but I don't think that such a drastic measure is necessary. Let's focus on the issue of opening of first session. There are a lot of options built into Windows to help you out of this situation:

    • Restart the computer with your Windows repair CD, then use system restore to set Windows in a few days (only works if you have recently changed the password).
    • Log on to your account admin to spare, and then reset the password for your existing account (works only if you set up an alternative admin account).
    • Log in as administrator mode without failure, then reset the password for your existing account (the password is usually empty).
    • Insert your flash drive USB with password key file (works only if you have taken the time to create such a key file and you can actually locate).
    • Use the password indicator (works only if you have created a hint and if it's good enough to allow you to guess the password)
    • Check your paper files (only works if you threw down the password somewhere.)
