How to remove "PST" Password? (Outlook 2007)
I just followed the steps to ad a password to my Outlook 2007 data file (pst
file). I typed the pasword twice as requested, and it was accepted. Now, the very FIRST time I try to load Outlook again, it ask for the password (of course) . . . . but does NOT ACCEPT MY PASSWORD (!) What kind of !#$!#? is this? How can I get rid of the "pst" password, so I can get to my data? The instructions for setting up the password said words-to-the-effect that "This is not very secure; just an informal protection among people you trust like family, etc." Well, how can I REMOVE the password on my own "pst" file? (I'll never do this again!) Cripes.

How to remove "PST" Password? (Outlook 2007)
No, the caps are not on. It is asking for the "pst" password . . . the one I just created! But it does not accept it. "Marvin P.

Howdy, You might want to check this: http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/pst_password.html It will give you the password. Then, either you can eliminate its use, or you will have some important diagnostic information. All the best, -- Kenneth If you email... Please remove the "SPAMLESS."
