So I have a long-standing game I play on and I realized that its' been a FEW years since I changed the password, problem is:
I do not remember what the original password is.

But in order to change it I need to find out what it is so I can enter it on game, and change it.

Is there a way to make it display the password in plain text, in the auto connect section under connecting so I can change it on the game?

Assuming your script language is set to Lua, open an Immediate scripting window (Ctrl+I) and enter this:


Note (GetAlphaOption ("password"))


Then click the Run button. The password should be echoed in the output window.

(The above is case-sensitive).

World configuration -> Scripting -> Scripts tab. But it sounds like you did it. Lua is the default these days.
