Can't you go to your ISP webpage and request a new password there. I
haven't done this afaicr, but it's not Eudora that assigns passwords.
It only records them.

After you do this, you may have to click on Special / Forget
Passwords for Eudorat to forget what it thinks and to ask you to enter
the new actual password.

if you really want to decrypt a password in the ini file, I suspect you
are trying to spy on someone else's email. Shame, shame, shame.

Your password, in encoded form, is in this line in eudora.ini:

SavePasswordText=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

To decode it you can use one of the many on-line available Base64
decoders such as this one:
