Hi all, I am trying to find my password to my login.

Basically what happened is I don't have access to the email that I have a free Office 365 (Word, Powerpoint, Outlook, etc) subscription (was my university account). I am moving to a new macOS install and want to move it over. Since I can't reset the password (due to lack of login ability to email account) I checked in Keychain Access to see if there's anything there, but I couldn't find anything. Is there some kind of .plist that I can grab this login info from somewhere in the system? Or am I looking in the wrong place in Keychain?
 
If you're updating macOS, you don't need to do anything. The existing license will continue to work.

If you're moving to a new machine, you'll need a new license. There is no magic file you can move from the old to the new machine. Microsoft product activation is machine specific.
