Jim there is a program. I cannot send it to you. Here is what I would suggest. First of all you could export your e-mail account from Outlook Express on to a flash drive. Then delete the account in Outlook Express on the laptop and import it again from your flash drive. However if I have not understood you correctly and your lalptop is still dead and not revitalised and the password is on it, and yopu require it now urgently for your desktop, then google password recovery and you should find one. I have one but I cannot send it via e-mail. Hope this helps. ----- Original Message ----- From: bill shaw To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Monday, January 31, 2011 10:56 AM Subject: [access-uk] help needed outlook express password Hi List, I urgently need help to recover a password in outlook express. My laptop died on me over the weekend and am having to use my old desktop machine, running the same setup, vista home premium. However, when I go into outlook express it's asking for my password which I have forgotten. Is their a way of retrieving the password or some accessible softwhere that I could use to get it back. Any help will be gratefully received. Jim
