I'm afraid that the passwords cannot be retrieved from within windows.
You can access any of their information using your administrator account. If
they are using the default Windows Mail, The emails are in the
C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Mail folder. Expand this
folder and you will see all of the sub-folders. The emails they have sent
will be in the Sent Items folder. Make sure you using the Details View,
click once on the top of the Date Modified column to re-order the emails by
date. You can also check the Inbox and any of the other folders there.
Double click an email to open and read it.
