Lost password

I running Win7 Pro and Office Outlook. It is working. I forgot my password
and want to set up an email program on an Android. How can I find my password?

Password for what? Windows or Outlook?

Use the e-mail provider's webmail client (logon using your web browser)
and use their "Lost password" (or whatever it is named) recovery scheme.
You never mentioned who is the e-mail provider so that others using the
same provider could tell you how to use the lost password scheme to
reset your password; however, the login page at the e-mail provider
should have obvious links for "lost password" recovery. Typically it
means you supplied them with an alternate contact e-mail address to
which then can then send the e-mail notice about password reset.

They may also ask you several personal questions for values you
specified when you created or modified your account, like birth year, a
security question you set up ("what's the name of your pet" or "name of
your high school") with answers you should know (it's info about you).
Too often the list of security questions is limited or inappropriate to
my life history so I pick any security question and use the same old
answer regardles of the question. In fact, anyone that gathers personal
info on you could use the lost password scheme with those security
questions to hack into your account. So it is smarter to give unrelated
answers to the security questions; i.e., the answer(s) don't match the
question(s) so a hacker can't use personal info they gather on you to
hack into your account.

If you don't have that old contact e-mail address anymore, or you don't
remember what answer(s) you gave to the security question(s), then your
choices are to create a new account at the same e-mail provider or see
if you can contact the e-mail provider and hope you can convince them
you are the owner of the account.

Contact your ISP or the firm that provides you with mail hosting?
