I want to set up email on a new computer but have lost the Outlook Express password and just can’t find it. I’ve searched all the options in the program but I suppose there is no way to recover it as this particular information is hidden. Can you help me find the Outlook Express password of my email account?

As you may know, you can set up not one but multiple email accounts in the Outlook Express program. However, once configured, the password information is never displayed again. The characters in the Outlook Express password field are changed to symbols such as the filled circle in Windows XP – check the image on the left. Though all other details are available under the Server tab of the Account Properties window (“Tools” -> “Accounts” -> “Properties“), the password is hidden…and rightly so because anyone could then get hold of this information. After configuring a new email account in Outlook Express, most of us forget the password, username and server details. Yes, we do note it on a small piece of paper but that is lost or misplaced; I’m sure we all have rummaged through drawers and the dust bin looking for the elusive and “life-saving” note.

Anyway, the only way to get the Outlook Express password information is to use a third party application. There are tons of these available.
