Guest

I have an old personal folder that I need to access however it is password
protected and I can't remember what the password is. Does anyone know a way
to recover, reset or remove the password from the .PST file? Thanks for your
help!!

There is a handy tool to strip the password of a pst-file. The funny thing
is that this tool wasn't even written for stripping the password of a
pst-file but for upgrading the pst-file to a newer format. Stripping the
password was just a (handy) side effect. Don't use this tool for any illegal
activities!!!

Read the pstread.txt file included in the zip before using the utility!
