My ubuntu pc is setup to auto login, so since I never have to type my password, I've forgotten it.
Now, normally I'd just reset it, but I used that password for another online service, and I want to login on that service again but I don't know the password.
Is there any way to see my password? I'm logged in the admin account, it auto logins.
The actual passwords are not stored, you can only find their hashes in /etc/shadow.
There is no easy way to recover passwords, your best try is to use a software like John the Ripper to crack your password, but if you used a strong password, cracking it might take a very, very long time.
for another online service, and I want to login on that service again
The only option in retrieving your password would be to use the password recovery for that on-line service. I have yet to see one that does not offer one.
