Several users at my site have installed Outlook 2003 on their systems.
(moving from 2000 or Office XP). After upgrading our old PST email
archives on the server now initiate a password prompt, however nobody
has figured out a password that will actually work and these files
were not password protected in the first place?

What gives?

Unfortunately that doesn't help. There is no "pst.password" file on the system.

ANy other suggestions?
