Where does Blackberry Desktop Manager save the Passwords in Password Manager?

Ok, so I lost my Blackberry and am trying to figure out if there's any way to retrieve from password file from my laptop.

 

I've poked around and even called AT&T but I can't find anything that looks like the Password Manager file. What would the file be named? What would the extension be?

You backup IPD file contains all of the data.

 

Search for *.ipd on your PC.

Is a backup file automatically created when you sync or do you have to do it specially?

No, you have to click on the little button in Desktop Manager that says "BACKUP".

 

Your sync does not sync the Password Keeper.

 

Have you ever done a Backup?

Darn! I don't think I ever did a backup...I assumed the sync was syncing my passwords too. Ah well. Live and learn. But thanks. I went to the AT&T store and called them and they couldn't give me a real answer.

So why is there an option in password manager to 'synch wirelessly' if it does not synch to anything?
