Steven,

Generally, passwords are not migrated. This is a security "feature". If
someone were to get hold of the FAST backup, they'd have your information.

You could also try the built in File and Settings Transfer Wizard. I don't
save passwords myself but I believe it should also migrate them. The link
below explains more on how to use it and you can save to a DVD/CDROM if
you
do not have a network setup between computers to do the transfer. ---

Where can I find the files that contain the passwords that allow access
to
websites without retyping each time?? We are migrating to a new computer
and
I have 4 years worth of "passwords" and do not have all of them and do
not
wish to re-enter, if possible. Thank you for any comments.
