Windows 10: Recovering password on Microsoft Mail

Good day


I changed a password on my one email account which is linked to my Mail app.

I updated the password on the app but completely forgot what the password is so cannot log into the mail any other way than the mail.


Is there any was to recover the password from the mail app ?

Mail app will not open on 10041.


Hello Adam,

This is the suggested solution below if you haven't already tried it.

In this Windows 10 build 10041, the Mail, Calendar, and People apps may be broken due to a licensing issue with the Store Beta. To get these apps working again, you need to follow these steps:

• Open powershell as administrator
• Run the command Get-appxprovisionedpackage –online | where-object {$_.packagename –like “*windowscommunicationsapps*”} | remove-appxprovisionedpackage –online
• Re-install Mail, People and Calendar from the Store (green tile)
