Forgotten password for Outlook Express Identity

[Len]

My partner is unable to access her emails on Outlook
Express 6 using her current identity as she has forgotten
her password! She has tried every password she can think
of and still can't get in. Logging off the current
identity or adding a new identity hasn't helped either.
Is there a way of getting round this?

She will have to import her old Identity's data into a newly created one and
then delete the old one.

Thanks for the advice. But OE wouldn't let me import the
data from the Identity's store root directory. Since my
partner isn't too bothered about getting her old emails
back is it worth just going ahead and deleting the
Identities key and the store root folder anyway so that
OE doesn't keep asking her for it?
