Fresh install should do it... I don't believe there's a way to retrieve the password

I suggest an uninstall....it removes everything (I could be wrong) except the chat logs.

i am pretty sure that there is no way to recover your password :(

if those were password protected too, than they are useless (if you forgot the password)

Search the registry, perhaps you can delete the password (doubt it though).

I'd go with the uninstall-reinstall though....if you don't have experience modifying the registry, it could be disasterous if you don't remove the right key. (Personal Experience 8-))
