Recovering deleted data from dashboard???

[HstephenG]

I stupidly just deleted a password I pasted onto a "post-it" note in dashboard and there seems to be no option to get it back. I tried to go back in time machine but recovering it seems to be difficult.
Any other ideas? It is a password for an account with no other way in (security questions, etc.). Very stupid of me!

Searching helps

With any luck you should be able to find that in your backups and restore it.

Stickies is, obviously, not a good place to store important info.

Thanks Rob - I missed the "stickies" key word I guess when I searched.
Yes I agree! Bad move by me, but that post sorted me out. Appreciate it!
