Passwords cannot be retrieved in an easy way from your Outlook installation because it is encrypted. The only way to do it is to get a copy of a program that will *extract* the password from its encrypted form into plain text, allowing you to know what the password in Outlook was.

This is a security measure to avoid other people to know your password very easily.

It is an Outlook password extractor. The freeware version *might* help you depending of your password lenght.
