How can I retrieve the user password of a network shared pc

Question

As you can infer from the title itself, I need to retrieve the password which I entered a while ago and forgot. Long story short, how can I retrieve the user name and password of the PC that my PC connects without asking credentials?

I'd be grateful for any answers, thanks for helping

P.S. I'm using Windows 7 with SP1 updates installed

You can use Nirsoft Network Password Recovery:

When you connect to a network share on your LAN or to your .NET Passport account, Windows allows you to save your password in order to use it in each time that you connect the remote server. This utility recovers all network passwords stored on your system for the current logged-on user. It can also recover the passwords stored in Credentials file of external drive, as long as you know the last log-on password.

Which passwords can this utility recover?

• Login passwords of remote computers on your LAN.
• Passwords of mail accounts on exchange server (stored by Microsoft Outlook)
• Password of MSN Messenger / Windows Messenger accounts
• Internet Explorer 7.x and 8.x: passwords of password-protected Web sites ("Basic Authentication" or "Digest Access Authentication")
• The item name of IE7 passwords always begin with "Microsoft_WinInet" prefix.
• The passwords stored by Remote Desktop 6.
