I have fixed my proplem by using the "ToolsAccounts....." method for my
account. But my wife's account is doing the same thing, and the process does not repair it. The link you supplied shows only my password. My wife's password does not appear. Thank you for your reply.

I just reinstalled my Win XP, and I'm trying to get back to where I was before I started. One problem I'm having is that now when I open OE 6.0 I'm asked for a password. I did not ask to be password protected in OE. Here's what I've done so far: In "Identity Properties" the "Require a password" is unchecked. In "mail.charter.net Properties" under the "Servers" tab Password is unchecked. But I'm still being asked for a password. Please advise. Bob |

Is it a different account (address), or just a different identity?
If it is an account, call Charter and ask them what the password is. If it is an identity: http://insideoe.tomsterdam.com/faqs/how.htm#delnopass Or: http://www.mindspring.com/~majik/identites.htm -- Bruce Hagen MS-MVP Outlook Express ~IB-CA~ "choppbobby" wrote in message ...

It is going from bad to worse.
In my attempts to fix this now when I open my OE account my wife's password pop up window pops up. When I click OK it just keeps popping back up.

Are these Identity passwords, or OE logon passwords? I would try removing
the accounts, rebooting and then adding them back. -- Bruce Hagen MS-MVP Outlook Express ~IB-CA~ "choppbobby" wrote in message ... It is going from bad to worse.

I guess part of my problem is not knowing the terminology.
I tried to reinstall OE using my Win XP Home CD, but all I succeded in doing was to remove Internet Explorer, which I reinstalled. I'll try your suggestion. Thanks for your help. I'll keep you informed. Bob "Bruce Hagen" wrote: Are these Identity passwords, or OE logon passwords?
