Outlook Express login problem

[Guest]

I am running MS XP Home. I recently had to install a new memory card and had
to repair the OS which went smoothly enough except for a problem I am having
with Outlook Express.

When I open up the program, a 'Manage Identities' Window opens and my
password no longer works. I have been using the same password since I bought
the computer, and have never changed it. I am the only user on the
computer. I can access everything else in my computer fine, except I do not
know how to retrieve (if it's possible) this password.

I set up an Outlook account temporarily but all my files and folders in
Outlook Express are unaccessable without providing the correct password.

Any suggestions?

Thank your for your response. Unforunately I dont see an articel there that
address the problem specifically. Somehow my password was changed when I
either installed a new memory card, updayed to SP2, or repaired the OS using
the repair/reinstall function on the restore CD the system came with. Other
the reinstalling my operating system, I am not sure what I can do to use OE
again. It would seem like there must be a way to retrieve it, I just don't
know how. Thanks for any suggestions.
