How to remove "PST" Password? (Outlook 2007)

[Jim In Minneapolis]

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.

check to see if your caps lock is on, also, are you sure it's not asking for
some kind of network or isp password instead?

No, the caps are not on.
It is asking for the "pst" password . . . the one I just created!
But it does not accept it.

Howdy,

You might want to check this:

It will give you the password.

Then, either you can eliminate its use, or you will have
some important diagnostic information.

All the best,

Hi Jim,

I knew of that technique because a while back, my Outlook
"decided on its own" that one of my PST files was password
protected.

It worked for me, and I am glad it worked for you.

All the best,

The solution that howdy gave is really helpful

@Jim In Minneapolis You can remove your pst password by using pst19upg.exe inbult utility which completely wipes off the current pst password.

In case this trick doesnt work, then you have to go for a PST Password Recovery software. Stellar Phoenix Outlook Password Recovery is a complete utlity which can recover pst passwords for your password protected pst file. The software generates a series of 6 pst passwords for your pst file.
