Nate Baldwin Jul 8, 2008 7:47 PM (in response to Ron Lanham)I don't know of a way to recover that info as plain text from GoLive :-/ -

Ron Lanham Jul 8, 2008 8:23 PM (in response to Ron Lanham)Thanks for posting Nate.
Wow... I would have thought there would have been a way to view/recover it.
Guess I'll have to contact my web host tomorrow and have them email me it.
Thanks again. -
3. Re: Publish Server password can't be 'seen'
(Tony_Goodnight) Jul 9, 2008 11:07 AM (in response to Ron Lanham)It would be better to set an extra FTP account for your client and give them that password. Most hosting that is more than basic allow for extra FTP accounts. It also should be easy to do a lost pw recovery or new pw within your cpanel or even just change it. -

Ron Lanham Jul 9, 2008 3:25 PM (in response to Ron Lanham)Thanks Tony.
I called my web host and they were nice but unhelpful so I simply logged into my admin page on their site and updated my password (the one I knew it probably was according to 1Password). I then deleted it and re-entered it as GoLive's Publish Server's password and voila!
The strange thing is that GoLive has been working fine. The reason why I say this would be too tedious to explain though, but it involves the attempts I made in getting the same password to work in various ways.
Under normal circumstances you're absolutely right in that it is never a good idea to give someone else your password. It's just that this client has been a friend for a very long time and is totally trustworthy (I'd trust him with my life).
Thanks again for the post.
Strange that Adobe never made it possible to retrieve/view a password once it is entered (i.e. via OSX admin password at least).
