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,

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

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:

http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/pst_password.html

It will give you the password.

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

All the best,
