    Hi,

    I have local admin access to the laptop, I can't reset the
    password for my old account as I don't have access to the
    domain.

    I can see the .ost file in my old profile under documents
    and settings but can't import it into outlook as it
    doesn't let me (it's associated with the old Exchange
    Server on the domain)

    I figure the only way I can get round this is to try and
    recover the cached password from when I used to log onto
    the domain, this way I could hopefully log back into my
    profile,open Outlook and read the .ost file. Trouble is I
    don't know how to do that
