Can anyone help me figure out how to decode this?

This is a encoded password that I found in the registry. A friend saved his password and in under the login key I found this for the password (in the registry).

What language is that? And if possible could you decode it?

Binary for those that know how to use it.

Where in the registry was it stored? What's it a password for?

You know, Microsoft's crypto API's are pretty good, and unless this is a very old password hash, or was encrypted by a really stupid programmer, your chances of recovering this password are just about zero.

Probably base64 (you can find a W3C RFC detailing it), but it's probably an encrypted password, so converting to binary does not really give you the password, just the binary form of the password after encrypting with some private key.
