Have you ever checked your friends passwords, saved in Mozilla Firefox browser and encountered a master password just before getting them? Then lemme tell you my friends, the master password is just for dumbos!
Mozilla Firefox has a feature that helps to protect saved usernames and passwords, with a password. This password is called the "master password". A lot of studying and testing led to the conclusion that the master password is saved in a file "key3.db". This Master Password is enabled when the file key3.db that contains the password, is read by the back-end of the Firefox Browser.
In Windows 7, this file is located at :-
D:\Users\<your user account>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<your profile name>.default
In Windows Xp,
C:\Documents and Settings\<your user account>\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<your profile name>.default
NOTE : THE TWO TAGS <your user account> and < your profile name> are different for different users. Change Accordingly......
Now, you just need to delete this file when the browser is closed..... and its done!!!
NOTE: The trick will work on all versions of Mozilla Firefox 3. It may not work on Mozilla Firefox 4.
By using this technique you can perform another trick on your friend. You can insert master password on your friends Firefox browser with your own whether he has the password or not. You just need to follow the following steps:-
1. Open your Firefox Browser.
2. Click Tools->Options->Security.
3. Mark "Use a master password".
4. When prompted, insert the password you want to add to your friend's Firefox browser.
5. Now search for the same file key3.db in the same location from your computer.
6. Copy this file and replace it in your friends computer. You know it where......!
Any Queries are welcomed........
