Question about internet password?

My friend is having trouble with her Internet password and wanted me to post this question up. No one has been able to help her out so far, and she really wants this question answered. This is what she told me:

How do I obtain my internet password?

I had a Vista PC, I made new partitons on my PC so I could get XP, problem is I guess something went wrong so it can't load my PC in Vista (but I can get to all my files)

And well I don't know my internet password (and I tried that 191.11.11 way, sorry I don't know the exact numbers off the top of my head. But it takes me to a screen, and under the password for the internet it shows "*********" (btw I have to go on my moms computer to look at that, my computer runs on a wireless atenna)

So I'm wondering: is there a way to import the password stored on my Vista Partition, and into my XP one?

I can't go asking my parents XD Cuz they'll think I got a virus on my computer, but all I wanted was my pc to be Dual Boot so I could play this game that required XP (even if I asked them, they wouldn't even know the password, and would have to reset it, and I don't want them to have to go about doing that either)

Is there any way to do it computer-wise, without having to call?

    Well first of all, you don't have to have a dual boot to play a game in XP. You can set the game in Vista to play in XP mode.

    Now I'm assuming when you say internet password, you mean your wireless network password. Unless you have it written down, there is no way to copy the password or even view it.

    You'll have to ask your parents for help.
