Where are clear-text passwords stored?

Is this list an exhaustive list of places where my dial-up password is stored? I'm about to return a laptop after installing Debian for a friend, and want to make sure all my passwords are deleted. -- http://www.lafn.org/~cymbala/Debian/t4700ct.html#passwords
