I have forgotten the password for the "Main Identity", I
need some e-mails from that account and I can't get into
it. Is there some way to either reset without losing
info or is there away around the password already in
place?
 
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 yours.
write down the identity number.
delete the identity number.
close the Registry.
Open OE and create a new identity.
Import messages from the old Identity path.

Microsoft article 230208 can show how to import.
