well it depends on what they want to see.  if it's email, you don't need the user's password.  if it's a folder you don't need the user's password.  i'm asked frequently to check on "stuff" & i don't know anyone's password but my own & administrator.  so, what is it they want to see?
They wants to see email and we have Exchange server.......how m i going to see user email without password?
You give your self read access to the mailbox and attach to it through outlook.
