OE password recovery tool

Is there any freeware out there to recover the password used when I set up my OE email accounts?

My exisiting OE is working OK, but my webmail access using the same password isn't. Tried all the usual stuff (firewalls etc) but Virgin are saying my email account has been changed.

I'm confused why/how they can do that without telling me and yet my OE still works. Any comments?

System Information for Windows will tell you lots about your computer, including OE passwords in the "Secrets" section.

Thanks Bushfiva, but can you give me a more precise steer to this folder?

I looked in programs,accessories/system tools/system info but could not see any folder there called "secrets".

Does what it says on the tin. Some excellent utilities on that site. Some over-enthusiastic antivirus programs might strop about them, but that's due to the nature of what they do; ie. steal passwords!
