Outlook 2000 PST Password Question

[SOX FAN]

I have placed a password in my PST file. If someone should steal or copy
my PST file will they need that password to open it on another PC?

Thank you very much

Oh, and to add, there are password crackers out there in the big wide
Internet world that will crack it in a matter of minutes.

Even better; there is a pst-upgrade tool which has a side effect that the
password goes lost
