Re: Help retreving E-mail User+Pass

Assuming you are the main NTL account holder, go to http://www.ntlworld.com/helpsupport/...ail_manage.php
and click on 'Add extra mailboxes'
Put your email and password in the next screen and press continue.
This will bring up a list of mailboxes associated with your account - and should tell you your sons address.

Then you should be able to retrieve the password.

(Probably need to be on an NTL IP, not at work)

Re: Help retreving E-mail User+Pass

Can your Son access his emails ok using an email client like Outlook Express? If he can then the username/password is located in the properties for the email account. All you will need is a program like 'Snadboys Revelation' which can show passwords that are shown as just asterixes.

Re: Help retreving E-mail User+Pass

Exorcist74, if your son has Outlook Express setup for email retrieval then his password is in the properties of the mailbox.

See my previous post about how to get the password.

Re: Help retreving E-mail User+Pass

I think you are now in the realms of having to call NTL.

Good luck
