PST Password

[Jeff B.]

We have a user that was recently migrated to Windows XP
and upon mapping back to the PST, it is asking for a
password. The user has no idea what the password is.
Does anyone know how to remove this from the PST???

There is a free utility called
"PST19UPG.exe".

One place to find it is:
http://www.securiteam.com/tools/6G00B1F0AS.html
"This utility was originally designed to upgrade the PST
format to version 19. One of its side effects, however,
is that it can strip out the PST password. This can therefore
be used to recover passwords you may have forgotten on
your PST files.

Hi Jeff:

Microsoft has a utility named pst19upg that was suppose
to upgrade the pst. As a byproduct, it strips out the
password. The drawback is that it may corrupt your pst.
Make a copy of your pst before you use this util.
