outlook express 6.0 problem

[Guest]

When I go to switch identities in Outlook, it asks for the identity password.
Problem is the user never had top put a password in before. I reinstalled
6.0 Express and when I open it back up for that identity, it is prompting for
the identity password. It is not the email account password or the user
login, which I tried. Is there a way to override the password, delete it or
whatever in order to retrieve the old messages? If I try to import the
messages to a new identity, it prompts for the password. How can I remove
the password without knowing it, or at least reset it?
