  1. Open Outlook Express.
  2. Click on Tools, then click on Accounts, as shown below:

    The Internet Accounts window opens, as shown below:

  3. Select the Mail tab and you’ll see a list of all your current email accounts.
  4. Select the Virgin Media account that you want to change the password for, and click on Properties. The Mail Account Properties window opens.
  5. Click on the Servers tab to open this window:

  6. Delete the current password by clicking in the white box to the right of Password and deleting any text in there.
  7. Type in your new password and leave the rest of the information as it is.
  8. Click on OK to exit this screen, then click on Close to close the Internet Accounts window.

That’s it! Your Outlook Express 6 password is changed.
