In this tutorial Find password in NZB file I will explain you how to find the password stored in an NZB file.

If your usenet download program cannot handle a password that is provided in the NZB file. Then you can retrieve the password from the NZB file yourself. This is quite simple action.

Unnecessary find password in NZB file?

If you have a recent Usenet download program then this is not necessary at all. I therefore advise you to use another Usenet download program. That can handle this. Most Usenet download programs can handle this if they are up to date. Some well-known programs are SABnzbd, NZBGet and SpotNet Classic.

I recommend against using the following software. They rarely receive updates, which makes unpacking difficult: Grabit and SpotNet 2.0. Lesser-known Usenet download programs often do too.
