I have an identity created in OE6, but I do not know the
password. My daughter forgot it. How can I delete or
change the identity without the password? Do I have to re-
install Win XP?

Thanks.

Steve

If those groups aren't carried on the news server that's carrying this group
try using msnews.microsoft.com (MS's public news server that's the source
for all the microsoft.public newsgroups). The links under the newsgroup
references are for use with MS's web newsreader (not exactly the best way to
post but it works for some people)

Click Start, run, enter REGEDIT, click OK.
This will open the registry editor program.
On the left, click the '+' for the Hkey_current_user, then the '+' for
identities.
Each subfolder, (big ugly number), is a identity. Click each one until you
find your daughter's.
write down the identity number.
delete the identity number.
close the Registry.
Open OE and create a new identity for your Daughter.
Import messages from the old Identity path.

Microsoft article 230208 can show how to import.
