    made a mistake! ><

    This weekend I finally got around to doing some much needed upgrades to my PC. Basically the only things i re-used are my dvd drive, cpu, and power supply. Before scavenging my old PC of those parts I made a backup of the things I didn't want to lose. The only thing I forgot was to write down the POL ID for my spare account. Is there anyway that I can just copy the needed folder off the old HD, so that when i go to login it's already got my ID there? If its even possible, what folder is it in? Would I be better off to just copy the entire PoL folder over? I really need some advice on the best possible way to fix this.

    I wanna say when theres a hardware change that POL erase's/loses the saved password, May have to call SE to get it.

    Then that may be saved then since that part is not changable unless you go in a change it, unlike the password.

    when I copied and pasted my whole directory after installing POL alone, then running the registry file i saved/registering it my ID and password were saved..but I reformatted on the same machine, something about changing certain hardware peripherals causes it to reset (like that one guys network card, when he took it out/put it in it cleared his password)
