Reveal your password hidden in browser password field

One nice day, I was very sad, because I forgot one my passwords to important router management. Password was saved in my IE, but how to reveal it? As you may know - router does'nt have capability to "remind your password" :) After some googling I found one script, that I'll share with you below. You just need to go to a site, where your password masked with asterisks, paste code to address bar, and press enter! Thats it!

The script is here:

javascript:(function(){var s,F,j,f,i; s = ""; F = document.forms; for(j=0; j<F.length; ++j) { f = F[j]; for (i=0; i<f.length; ++i) { if (f[i].type.toLowerCase() == "password") s += f[i].value + "\n"; } } if (s) alert("Passwords in forms on this page:\n\n" + s); else alert("There are no passwords in forms on this page.");})();

As far as I have tested, this method works on Internet Explorer, Firefox, Netscape and Opera.
