If you are a user of Microsoft Outlook on Windows 8, then it is important to know how to remove Outlook password from the system. This article will show you how to remove Outlook password from Windows 8 using the following steps:
- Open the Start screen and type “cmd” into the search bar.
- When cmd is displayed, click on it and then click on “Run as administrator.”
- Type “netstat -an” into the command prompt and then click on “OK.”
- The netstat command will show you a list of all active network connections in your system. You will see a list of networks that are connected to your computer including your local network, the internet, and any other networks that you may have connected to in the past. The network connections that are listed in this section will be different depending on your computer model and operating system version. If you have not connected any other devices to your computer recently, then these connections should be blank or they should be listed with a connection number that starts with “0.” If you have connected any other devices to your computer recently, then these connections will be listed with a connection number that starts with “1.” The connection numbers for networks that are connected to your computer right now can be found by looking at the information in the following section called “Details about Connection Number 1.” If you want to connect to another network even though it is not listed in this section, then you can do so by clicking on its name in the list and then clicking on its connection number in the Details about Connection Number 1 section of the netstat command output. Details about Connection Number 1 can be found by looking at the following section called “Netstat -nohosts.” In this section, you will see information about all active hosts (network interfaces) on your local network as well as all active hosts (network interfaces) on any other networks that are connected to your computer.
Click the Start button. Go to Settings and select Accounts. Select Accounts from the drop-down menu. Select Microsoft account from the list and then choose Remove. Finally, press Yes on your keyboard or touchscreen.

In Outlook Express, the passwords are stored in a secret location in the registry called “Protected Storage” and with the same base key as previous versions of Outlook, i.e., “HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Protected Storage System Provider.”
