Can I access keyboard history without a keylogger?

Question

By accident I wrongly typed a password (twice) that I completely forgot, when I was encrypting my external Toshiba drive with PGP Disk. I have no backup, nor *.krp files to repair my key, but I am trying now to recover with EaseUS.

Is there any way of seeing what was typed on the laptop`s keyboard on that particular day, without having an active keylogger?

Solution

Simple answer, no, there isn't, otherwise hacking would be a much larger problem than it already is.

I'm tempted to downvote, because there were probably a lot of warnings in big, bold letters that the key is irretrievable and that you should make a backup of the keyfile on an external disk. But I have sympathy... you might want to meditate and try your best to remember exactly what you typed. Maybe you had caps lock on by accident?

Do you have a wife, girlfriend / partner? Mine is a mind-reader on things like this. My point is you need lateral thinking on remembering that password.
