I'm trying to figure out which folder contains the cache for my browser. I'm trying to locate a password I forgot which is stored in my browser.

I'm having a hard time locating any info on cache location that doesn't involve trying to root my phone so if anyone has any info I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks!

why not just do the "forgot my password" thing on whatever site it is and reset your password? i'm sure the passwords in the cache are encrypted anyway.

haha I highly doubt Android just has a plaintext file for you to read.

the browser cache is hidden. Without installing a 3rd party app beforehand (if there is one), you are SOL.

Also, judging from this being your first post and the vagueness and unlikeliness of your request, I am guessing that you are trying to access information on someone else's phone or you are trying to get someone's facebook/myspace password that used your phone.

We don't do that kinda thing around here. Prove me wrong and maybe I can be of some more help.

Yea those were my thoughts too....
