Forgot my ICQ password, it's saved in ICQ, can I recover it?

Hello,

We use ICQ at work and I had my ICQ number for at least 10 years (it's 7 digits), so I would really like to keep it. Forgot Password tells me "You can't retrieve your password", I think that's because there's no email address associated with my account.

My ICQ version is 7.6. From what I found, I don't think that it's possible get it from Owner.qdb since it's MD5 encrypted. I think it can be recovered with a packet sniffer while it's signing in, but I can't figure out how to use one properly.

Any advice?

Thanks!

Isn't md5 encryption relatively easily crackable these days?
