How can I retrieve passwords from accounts that are signed up with my old email address?

Question

I have moved to another town and now have an new IP and new email address with Outlook. I still have a lot of accounts, like Kroger and Big Fish that I don't remember the password. I have always relied on password retrieval through my email but now I do not have access to the old email address..Is there a way to my passwords. I have stumbled upon across a lot of tricks but haven't found one for this.

Update:

I downloaded it and enabled it but it is not showing up in my Outlook Express. What am I doing wrong?

Actually in most case, you could still use the old email address for password retrieval because if you cancel a account, the email/internet service provider will only terminate the access to their bandwidth, not deletion of emails/email account. 
The reasons are it cost more to cancel a email account and it's bad customer service, in case if a mistake were made, it might hurt their existing customer, and when an account is deleted, sometime it's hard or even impossible to create the same email address again, so they'll normal leave the email account active. In fact, it happens to my past isp too, after more than 6 years from termination, they still let me use their pop3 mail account.
If you have all the account setup in outlook/outlook express, here's a freeware called Password Cracker 3.77 http://www.amlpages.com/dld_plus.shtml you can reveal the password behind the ******, no installation necessary, just open say outlook express, go to menu, tools, account, click the account line in mail tab, click properties button, servers tab, then click the pwdcrack.exe, move cursor over the ****** in the password box, the characters will show.
Hope this helps.

You advise you won't be able to shop in concepts the password for your secondary take care of? you may elect that. You did not say why you won't be able to get admission for your Yahoo! mail account. yet in case you won't be able to do no longer forget that password both, and could't answer the protection question & answer (which could in no way be made up), and could't even get admission to the secondary account, then are are out of success. because you've forgotten 2 passwords, you may elect to consider starting to be an better password that you will be a lot less in all probability to forget. As for the protection question and answer... continuously positioned genuine, actual solutions to the protection question. do no longer make some thing up. That way, it can't be forgotten.
