outlook account

Hello. I was wondering what is the algorithm used by outlook express to encrypt the password for the stored accounts. (I lost the password for a very important account of mine ;-( ) Please help.
If I were you, I'd just request a new password from the mail provider. There's little chance that the password is encrypted in a way that you can easily revert it to the original from what is stored, even if you knew the algorithm they use. -- jlr http://jlamas.blogspot.com/[^]

Outlook express doesn't encrypt the password when it store it, i myself retrieve it some time before but I forget how to do that!, I believe the Search should start from registry!

thankz, first... i figured out the key where the password is stored, but since i don't know the algorithm used i don't know how to decript it. It possible to do it since out there on www are available a bunch of appz destined to recover the outlook password. I just want to find out the encryption algorithm used to store the password in the registry ;-)
