This happens from time to time. Close out Outlook then reopen and try again. Also go to accounts and properties then click on servers. Here put a check mark just below outgoing mail server then click apply. Worse comes to worse just download a free program called SIW this will show you your password.

I bet, it is not someone has taken down your outlook, instead of your computer has been taken down by a malware or virus.\n\nPlease backup your inbox.pst first and re-install the office program (repair). Hope will do.\n\nregards;\nherdinata\nhttp://thesamura.blogspot.com

Change passwords. Has to be something that only you knows, or doesnt have any significant meaning. Like a bunch of letters - xvyaoe

I never heard of that before.\n\nThe only thing I can think of is to get rid of the saved password and it will prompt you everytime to enter it before it goes to retrieve messages.\n\nI got this detail when I went to look it up:\nCurrently there is no way to password protect Outlook on startup or to lock Outlook if you need to quickly walk away from your computer other than by using your Microsoft Windows® logon password or by using third-party software written specifically to password protect Outlook. However, you can set a password on your Personal Folders file (.pst) (Personal Folders file (.pst): Data file that stores your messages and other items on your computer. You can assign a .pst file to be the default delivery location for e-mail messages. You can use a .pst to organize and back up items for safekeeping.). If you use an Internet e-mail account in Outlook, such as a POP3 (POP3: A common protocol that is used to retrieve e-mail messages from an Internet e-mail server.) or HTTP (HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol): Protocol that is used when you access Web pages from the Internet. Outlook uses HTTP as an e-mail protocol.) account, your e-mail messages are delivered to a .pst data file on your computer's local hard disk. You can use a password on your .pst file to help prevent accidental intrusion by other people whom you share your computer with.\n\nHow?\n\nOn the Go menu, click Folder List. \nDo one of the following: \nIf you have a POP3 e-mail account, right-click the Personal Folders folder, and then click Properties For "Personal Folders" on the shortcut menu. \nIf you have an HTTP e-mail account (not supported in Outlook 2000), such as MSN® Hotmail®, right-click the Hotmail folder, and then click Properties For "Hotmail" on the shortcut menu. \nOn the General tab, click Advanced. \nClick Change Password. \nIn the Change Password dialog box, type your new password and verify it by typing it a second time. The password can be up to 15 characters. \nNote  Use strong passwords that combine upper- and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. Weak passwords don't mix these elements. Strong password: Y6dh!et5. Weak password: House27. Use a strong password that you can remember so that you don't have to write it down.\n\nMake sure that the Save this password in your password list check box is cleared. This prevents the password from being cached, and you need to type the password each time you run Outlook. Don't forget the password. \nClick OK three times. \nWhen you click the e-mail account folder, you will be prompted for your password. After you gain access, you won't have to enter the password again for that session. If you exit and then restart Outlook, you will be prompted for the password when you click the e-mail account folder.\n\nImportant  The .pst password feature is not intended to provide security against hackers. It is just a way to prevent inadvertent intrusion by other people whom you trust and share your computer with, such as at home with your family. A more secure way of protecting your data on a computer that you share with other people is to create a password-protected Windows user account for each individual using the computer.

Apparently this happens when you do not have a default email program on your system. What you need to do is allow your system to sort it out for itself.\n\nHsve a look at this site, which talks you through the problem and provides screenshots to help you: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/IE/community/columns/defaultbrowser.mspx

You'll need to tell us what email account and by what means you are logging in, Internet Explorer or Outlook?\n\nIf in Outlook then make sure you have the correct settings under your email accounts.\n\nIf in IE then I need more into but make sure you do not have a pop up blocker, firewall or other software that could block it.

The advice below is from Microsoft's website.  I found it by googling the error number provided.  Most likely, the first option will resolve the issue; I had a similar issue when setting up Outlook.\n\nUse one of the three options below.\n\nNOTE: Do not combine the first option with either the second or third option.\n•Click to select the My server requires authentication check box, which is located in the Outgoing Mail Server properties in Outlook Express.\n•On the Exchange Server 5.5 computer, open the Internet Mail Service properties. On the Connections tab, click Accept Connections. Click to clear the Only from hosts using Authentication and the Clients can only submit if homed on this server check boxes.\n•On the Exchange 2000 server, enable Anonymous Access on the Authentication tab of the SMTP virtual server.

I'm assuming you're trying to use Yahoo!  The same thing happened to me several years ago.  You can ask for a password if you have a non-Yahoo! email account.  Otherwise, you have to contact tech support.

Well, i am sorry for u. But u did not tell which email you are using and wheter if is a paid account or a free one.\nIf it is a paid account then give a call again to the tech support and verify the a/c info and reset the password if isp provided .\n\nOtherwise if it is a free account then the best option is to create a new one.But if there is some important file on there .Then try to get a password retrival tool and install it but most of them work if you lost the passwod and you have delted the cookies and all the histroy .\n\nSO go ahead give it a shot
