How do I recover the password from Outlook 2003?

    Hey. Does anyone know how I can copy the password in Outlook 2003 from Tools - Email Accounts - View or change email?

    The guy who set up the company emails is long gone so no one knows the password to the addresses. If I reset the password, it will probably email the new password to whatever secondary email he used, resulting in Outlook not being able to retrieve emails.

    Any ideas?

    Hi

    Have a look at [snip] what it does for some saved password on webpages, mail programs, etc show the hidden passwords.

    If that doesn't work they have other programs that might help.

    NOTE: make sure you scan the files after download to make sure there's no virus on them.

    turn off antivirus
    [snip]
    note down passwords
    turn on antivirus

    its considered to be a malicious app becuse it steals passwords

    Please read the charter about Crackz

    I'm against password crackers because people may use passwords for other services.

    You guys have warned about viruses as apps like this make tempting targets for trojans

    Windows password reset tools are OK because they don't reveal the users password and because any NTFS file is visible with a boot disk and any EFS files will still be encrypted.
