Can't administer Contribute site in DW CS3

Question

From Help:
Click the Administer Site in Contribute button.
Note: This button does not appear if you have not enabled
Contribute compatibility.
If prompted, enter the administrator password, and then click
OK.
The Administer Website dialog box appears.
I enabled Contribute Compatibility. I clicked the Test button
and the test is successful. I click the Administer Site in
Contribute button and DW connects to the server, but the Administer
Website dialog box does not appear. I want to be able to send a
connection key to myself. Although the site ftp is properly set up
in DW, I forgot the ftp password and therefore can't set up the
site in Contribute (the .ste file can't be imported into
Contribute). Thanks in advance for any help.

Do you have Contribute installed on this machine?
That dialog box is not within dreamweaver, it's a link to
open the dialog
box in Contribute.

There are two possibles:
One: There is the site's FTP password.
If you haven't written that down on paper somewhere, it can
be recovered
from the dw information.
do a google search for recover dreamweaver password or post
back if can't
find it.
Two: There is the site's Contribute Admin Password.
If you've lost that, there is still a couple of ways to reset
it.
Post back if that is what you need.
