Password Protected .PST

I have a user who created a pst file with a password but
he no longer remembers the password. Is there anyway to
delete the password or even reset it so he can get to this
folder?

Thanks

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!
