Hi,

I'm about to re-instal XP as it is running very slowly, but I need to extract my passwords, particularly for my home network connection.

Obviously, I can get into my admin account, but there seems to be nowhere that my passwords are displayed in there.

Asked and answered in the other newsgroup to which you posted. Please don't multipost; it makes more work for everyone and will get you *less* help, not more. See this for why:
