Personal Folder on Outlook 2003

[Guest]

Hello

One of my users' Personal Folder cannot be opened as it is prompting for a
password. The user told me she has never set any password for the Personal
Folder. I did a repair on the 900MB pst file but after repairing, the
password window still pops up. Is there any way to "disable" the password
prompt? By the way, I tried some of the obvious passwords but they all don't
help.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks
Ally

I suspect someone mistakenly password protected the file.

There is no real easy out for it either (otherwise, what would be the point
of a password option?)

If this is not a unicode .pst from Outlook 2003, then a utility called
pstupg19.exe might help.

Thanks William. I went to Google to search for pstupg19.exe and accidentally
found Atomic Password Cracker. I ran the trial copy and it worked!

Thanks for the tips.
