Title kind of explains it. I can't remember my password and I have changed machines. I have my old HD in now trying to find where the password info for OE is stored? Is it in the registry? I need to check my mail but without this password I can't connect to my cable company's server.

Which cable company are you with? I'm with Roadrunner, and they give us a sheet with the master password on it. You can also call for the password to that. I'm not sure if you can do it for the other accounts though. Good luck!

My cable company's help line is closed right now. I had to call to get my password reset when my machine went down and I had to use and old one. The HD from that machine still has everything on it and I just booted to it and OE will connect because the password is somehow saved in OE's settings but I cannot find out where. I need to know where to look on that HD to find where OE is storing the password so I can xfer it to the installation of OE I will actually be using from now on.
