XP's SP2 installed - Now I can't open OE
Hi,
I just upgraded (?) my XP with SP2. In fact it was done automatically, yesterday.(Cable connection) Clicking on the icon I get a dialog box : Identity Login asking me the password of "Owner" Well, I'm the owner buy I never had a password for IE. I tried the Windows password - in vein. I can create a new identities (as I'm the "administrator") But this does not get me access to past correspondence. Any Idea? Uzi 8-25-04 |

1) You'll need to create a new identity:

Thanks, Mike,
I solve it, though, differently as it may help others. (Standing on giants shoulders) I went to: http://freehost14.websamba.com/nirsoft/utils/pspv.html Downloaded the pspv.zip file. The utility found the password the MS, arbitrarily, used. I used it so I'm "all set" By the way... They password they used is my password from HotMail / Passport which is a WEB based and has nothing to do with OE. Hmm.
