Gloria,
I'm going through the same problem right now! If you haven't resolved
your issue yet, you should be able to call your Internet Service
Provider (ISP) -(AT&T?) and get your password. It is also important to
make sure that your ISP confirms you have the correct user name,
"incoming mail server" and "outgoing mail server" in the
apple/preferences/network settings. Good Luck!

If you find a way to get your addresses and old emails back please let
me know!
