I've done this using wireshark before. Ensure that it's set up to use a plain text password and then sniff the POP3 / SMTP traffic.

I'm sure you could probably find some software to retrieve the password from the Outlook configuration too.

belarc will retreive product key that windows/office etc installed with.  This does not necessarily mean you can install with that key on significantly different hardware.

For email password, contact your email provider

Either your email is done via your ISP, or you pay somebody else to provide email.  Either way, dead easy to track down who can reset your passsword
