Hi there guys ,

I have lost my password of my bitcointalk account . I know there are many threads about this but my case is different i am logged in from mobille device but can't remember the password , however the password is saved in anroid browser but i cannot open elements of page to see the password. I have tried rooting my device but umable to find the database . I dont know what to do . Help me.guys .

Regards

Head over to /data/data/com.android.browser/databases/webview.db , in the database you'll be able to view password table. Obviously, device needs to be rooted. You can also use Sqlite editor and go to that path : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.speedsoftware.sqleditor&hl=en

Here is a simple solution: go to your account profile and make sure of the email in it is yours and you have access to it, open btctalk in another device where you are not connected and use the lost password feature to receive a link to reset your password and make a new password. Make sure to not forget your new password.

Make sure you use the email option this is vital with password resets.   If you use secret question it goes into a lock due to security, so DO NOT reset via secret question.

But I would agree reset to email is going to be much easier then looking through android that is rooted.

I agree with you and it can also damage the phone security and warranty reset via password is the best option all websites and forums has this feature..

I think there's an apps that dont need to root your device but you can access the system and hide files i think es file explorer.. just set it in to show hidden files and system files.. try to look webview.db follow the quoted above.. i hope it will help..
I just want to say dont use a secret question to recover your account because i experience this that my account never get back..
If you already put an email to your account you can recover it just click forgo password and you will receive a message from btctalk and reset it.. and login to change the password..

Thanks everyone . I just formatted my mobile device too lol and almost lost my account but thank god i had email in my account.  I just used reset through email and received the email from bitcointalk and my account paswords is resetted now using it .

Glad to hear it worked.   I would highly recommend people to use real emails they have access to for this reason, if you use a fake it takes away this way to get your account reset.

Also if you have not yet OP you might stake a BTC address that is kinda last option type thing.  But staking a address with your account is something everyone should do.
