Lost password

Edward Himmelberger — Thu, 24 Feb 2005 14:13:59 GMT

I have a user that can't remember their password to access outlook express. Does anyone know of a way to reset it? I've checked the Microsoft sites and haven't had any luck at all.

Thanks
Ed

Hello Ed,

There are a lot of these utilities on the net:
http://www.softforall.com/Utilities/SecurityEncryption/Outlook_Password_Recovery09130473.htm

It appears that it'll recover passwords that protect (.pst) files. This may not work if you didn't setup your Outlook to store to a (.pst) file.

Personally, I'll call the Email Server Admin and have him reset the password for me.

Good luck and please keep us updated
Thanks
