hey Tuck.  If you had the password entered into a text document it might have been cached on your hdd.  I know that many of the text editor programs I use will save an auto backup under a different name until the real document is saved or closed.  I would check the specifics of whatever program you used.  Check whatever directory it would have saved a backup to.  If there is no backup present run recovery software on that hdd and see if it can find one.

Thanks for the tip, I will look into it!

The blockchain doesn't show any transactions for that account which means that its private keys has not been updated.
You still have the old keys? Maybe in a backup of your password manager?

Ya I have the BTS private key that the account was setup with.

I just don't have a way to do anything with it since I'm on Windows. I've tried logging in with it on Steemit, but it says the password is incorrect, since I updated it there.

I will gladly pay you something, upvotes or STEEM, if you can reset this password with the original BTS private key. Just let me know where to send the key.

Thanks for the help.

Hey @xeroc @bytemaster

I think I just really messed up. Is there any way to recover a password on Steemit? 

I setup an account for someone else and before I transfer it to them I wanted to change the password from it being the private key to the BitShares account I created the Steem account with. The problem is, I was using KeyPass to keep track of these passwords and it clears the clipboard after 12 seconds. I still had the private key as the main "Password" in KeyPass and was setting up a new stored field for the new password which I generated from elsewhere within KeyPass and thought I had pasted it and clicked OK. It turns out, it did not paste and the field is empty and I have already updated the "Owner" password with it on Steemit and now cannot login to the account.

Is there anything I can do?  Thanks!

I can't believe I did that. I've been very good about passwords in my online history and I'm pretty sure this is the first time I've boneheaded my way out of access to an account. I even had the new password pasted into a text file, but closed and did not save because I thought I had it saved in KeyPass prior to that. I really feel stupid at this point, but I will never be sure I've saved a password again unless I see it saved. lesson learned.

If nothing else, since this was just setup and I've yet to email Mr. Carreras, I guess I can just redo it all under a new account, but any funds going to the current post will be lost forever I presume, so I need to know pretty fast before others upvote that post so I can make a new one and prevent funds needlessly going to an account that no one can access.
