Password file - what to delete?

[SSonnier]

I got a new machine and started setting up email accounts again with Outlook Express. I set some of thepasswords incorrectly. Now even though I've tried changing them, everytime I try to retrieve mail, I can not. I have to go back to my old machine to check the mail( these 2 accounst do not haev webmail access).

Is there someway I can copy a file over from the old machine to the new machine and overwrite the mistake. Can I delete a file so that I can reenter the correct passwords???
If so, which file should I delete?

Before I answer, exactly which passwords are we talking about? You should be able to change the mail account password in OE by going to Tools, Accounts, Properties, Server tab.

I have done that, several times, but it appears that it is not overwriting the incorrect password I entered when I set up the new machine.

I am talking about the password Outlook Express uses to retrieve mail.

You need to edit the Windows Registry. Even if you're not using XP, this info will still apply:
