Are you talking about the password that you set during the export process of the cert? If so, there is no way of knowing that. That is part of the security model for exporting certificates and re-importing. Is the cert not installed on any server anymore? If not, maybe you can redownload the issued cert from godaddy.Tim Harrington | MVP: Exchange | MCITP: EMA 2007/2010, MCITP: Lync 2010, MCITP: Server 2008, MCTS: OCS | Blog: http://HowDoUC.blogspot.com | Twitter: @twharrington

You can't recover, you have to call GoDaddy and have them re-issue another one.James Chong MCITP | EA | EMA; MCSE | M+, S+ Security+, Project+, ITIL msexchangetips.blogspot.com
