Peter,

I know where to find email account settings via Microsoft Outlook, but my
problem is i don't know the users password and im trying to reconfigure pop3
and smtp. so im trying to access their email account settings without
logging on their usernames. thats why im looking for email account settings
either in registry or external file.

thank you,

Mr. Newbie

In that case I am not able to help you. You might want to ask those people that have the passwords assigned

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows
Messaging Subsystem\Profiles\Outlook\9375CFF0413111d3B88A00104B2A6676

That's where mine are. You'll have to double-click on the data items in
each subkey to see what the hex values equate to for alphanumeric
characters. Not all these subkeys are for account definitions.

You won't be able to enter passwords in the data items that hold them.
They are encrypted.

Did you read the OP's answer as to why as above ?? I have reservations on giving out this info when I read something like that answer. To bypass the user name and password to get into others email account . Jus as easy to ask and then do the change for account settings. I would not be very happy if someone accesses my emails without myself being aware of it

Yes, I read the OP's post. He wants to affect a change in the password.
So, as I mentioned, he can't because that data is encrypted. He can't
use or change that encrypted data in the registry through simple regedit
editing. The only affect he will have is the user will notice Outlook
prompting for the login credentials because they are blank, corrupt, or
invalid.

The OP asked about "email account settings via registry". That is what
he got informed about in my reply. He won't be able to steal anyone's
password. However, as requested, he can still alter the account
settings, like the SMTP server, port numbers, etc. The data is in the
registry. If you don't want any joker wandering through your registry
then stop giving them accounts with admin rights, or use policies to
restrict their use of regedit.

By the way, the info I got was from Microsoft's own support
knowledgebase that ANYONE can search.
