I forgot my apple mail password

When I try to use .mac mail, it asks for a mail.mac.com password but I don't remember the mac Mail password I gave when I set up my MacBook. How can I find it or reset it so I can use my mail (I've been using mail through my provider all this time).

Hi Nancy ...



Open Keychain Access located in /Applications/Utilities


Select Passwords on the left.


Type mobileme in the search field top right corner of the window.


Then double click that keychain and select the Attributes tab.


Select: Show Password


You may be prompted for your admin password. Click Allow


Now open Mac Mail. From the menu bar click Mail > Preferences then select the Accounts tab then the Account Information tab.


Select your MMe account on the left.


Make sure your user name and password are available under Incoming Mail Server.
