it seems as if i am really getting older:

i just can't remember 2 of my passwords for my email accounts anymore (hotmail and yahoo).

is there any way to retrieve them? if yes, how? i used to log in automatically, so maybe they are stored eg. via cookies or cache on my computer which runs on windows xp, using internet explorer 6 and netscape 7.2.

many many thanks for any help

ron

You can use the forget password link on hotmail or yahoo mail sites ...

many thanks for that, i found the link for yahoo, however for hotmail i can't see it...

You can just open hotmail.com and then type your email addy and any password you like ... it'll give you a password error ... on that page you'll have a link "create new password" You can reset your password there.
