i don't know of any cable company that requires a password for access to
their system. they all seem to use the mac address of the modem. don't pay
your bill and that mac address is no longer valid and so you service shuts
down. you/she will need the username/password for the email account(s) as
well as the incomming and outgoing mail servers. if she ever uses comcasts
web mail feature (for checking mail when not at home) then she knows her
email username/password. the incomming/outgoing mail server settings can
either google or call the isp to get them. the software that the vendors
give you just hlep with setting up mail and sometimes offer remote control
of your pc for support calls (undesirable in my opioion). if she is using
outlook express for mail be sure to search for and backup her address book
(*.wab). and if using outlook (not express) look for her data file (*.pst)
as well as her recently typed email address (*.ng2).

Recently my sister in law was switched from Road Runner to Comcast.
She told me that someone came to her house (if I understood her
correctly) and made some setting changes. I told her that my house
was also switched from RR to Comcast but I required no changes with my
house. Then my other sister in law said something about AOL but I
didn't understand what she was saying.
The problem here is that I want to reinstall the OS on my sister in
law's pc but she doesn't remember her password for her cable modem
and she has the "remember the password" checked. I don't know if she
can call Comcast to get her password but I was wondering if I can save
the file in question or directory and later restore by copying over
the same files?
Any suggestions how to proceed here? thanks.
