What works 95% of the time is to go to /Applications/Utilities/Keychain Access, and DELETE the entry for that account. Quit Keychain Access, open Entourage "Cancel" any question asking for the password at startup, go to Tools/Accounts/that account, and enter the password and OK.
The only time this didn't work for me (this morning, in fact) it turned out that both my computers were trying to access the same account at the same time, and just delaying Send & Receive on one of them for 1 minute allowed everything to work OK. -- Paul Berkowitz MVP Entourage Entourage FAQ Page: http://www.entourage.mvps.org/toc.html PLEASE always state which version of Entourage you are using - 2001 or X.
