Just so that you will not wait forever for an answer from support:

this is NOT the official Fortinet support site. This is the user self-help forum for Fortinet products. It's kept up by volunteering users or partners, and sometime a FTNT employee chirps in.

So, if others have seen this problem and have a clue about it, they might post something here.

If you want to get professional support, and have a valid support contract, open a ticket at support.fortinet.com .

If I understand your post correctly, you expected to restore the VPN password as well as the configuration when restoring a FortiClient config.

You can save a connection's password if you check the corresponding box when connecting.

If that is the case, open the saved config file with a text editor. Search for "pass". If you see a non-empty, encrypted string then the password was indeed saved.

If it is not restored anyway, it might be a bug in FC. Again, a good reason to open a support ticket to make FTNT aware of it.
