Have you forgotten or lost password of your Outlook Express mail application? Are you planning to import your mail folders in a new identity? If yes, think again, as there are various
Password Recovery tools available in the market that can aid in the recovery of lost Outlook Express password without the need to transfer the settings and mails to a new identity.
Outlook Express is a commonly used email client application that allows you to enforce password protection for all your e-mail or news accounts. These passwords are stored in Windows registry under a particular identity.
Outlook Express can also remember some or all of these passwords, if you allow it to do so. If you enable 'Remember Password' option in the properties section of a mail account, you need not type the password each time you check for new messages. But this practice is often avoided due to data confidentiality. The reason is that if the option is enabled, it raises chances of unauthorized access to your important emails.

Outlook Express stopped remembering your passwords. This is possible because of following reasons:
