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.

Are these Identity passwords, or OE logon passwords? I would try removing

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.

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:

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.

It is required by your ISP and they know what it is. Call your ISP or

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.
