Advanced Outlook Express Password Recovery (or simply AOEPR) is a program to recover server name, login and password for all mail and news accounts in Microsoft Outlook Express, as well as passwords to "Identities" (available in Outlook Express 5.x and 6.x). Passwords are recovered instantly, multilingual ones are supported. Works with all versions of Outlook Express.
Requirements :
•Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, Windows XP or Windows Server 2003
•about 1 megabyte of free space on hard disk
There are three buttons on the program toolbar: to recover mail accounts, news accounts and identities, respectively.
For every mail and news account, AOEPR shows the server address, login and password; usually, last two fields are shown as
For Identities, AOEPR shows the list of name/password combinations.
Some information (describing what exactly the program is doing) is printed into the log window. You can select (with mouse) some events there, press right mouse button and copy selected lines into the Clipboard using appropriate item in pop-up menu.
Please note that all account/password information is stored in Windows Registry (in Protected Storage, to be exact), and being accessed by AOEPR using standard Windows API. That means that if you’ve re-installed (not upgraded) Windows, all your settings will be lost. Right now, AOEPR cannot extract it from binary Registry files – probably, it will be implemented in the next version.
All information shown by AOEPR (address, login password) can be save into the text file – use Save Report button.
If you experience any troubles when trying to get any passwords (for mail, news or identities), e.g. the program just crashes or does not show the password, you can use debug mode. To enable it, select Settings | Program Options menu item, check the Enable logging box, and select the path to log file (or just leave the default value). Then, try to recover the passwords again, and send us that log file. It does not contain your passwords, just some technical information (what does the program do: accessing particular Registry keys, reading and decryption data etc). It would really help us to locate and fix a problem.
Typically, Microsoft Outlook Express stores all passwords in the Protected Storage subsystem. All passwords are stored in system Registry in encrypted form. However, some old versions can store account passwords in a plain (unencrypted) form, or encrypted with weak algorithm (logical XOR operation). In some cases, AOEPR can show wrong passwords, for example if your system Registry is damaged, or you do not have enough rights (permissions) to access some keys in Registry, or Protected Storage subsystem is not installed on your computer. Displaying of Password Storage Types will help you to identify why some passwords are displayed incorrectly. Here is a brief description of Password Storage Types:
PS Password is successfully retrieved and stored in Protected Storage.
OL Password is successfully retrieved and stored in system Registry using "old-style" weak encryption algorithm.
NP Password was not found in Protected Storage, in some cases it indicates that user name is used as password, or Protected Storage subsystem is damaged.
UN Unknown Password Storage Type. You may use version of Outlook Express that is not supported by AOEPR, or your system Registry is damaged.
ER Error in password retrieving.
NR Password was not retrieved. You do not have enough rights to unlock the Protected Storage, or Protected Storage is not installed on your machine.
NO Password for this account is absent.
