Outlook *.pst file - removing the password!

[Podie]

We're currently migrating from NT to XP... and have encountered a minor issue with one of our users.

It seems that a looooong time ago, their *.pst file was password protected. Naturally we've now come to open the file in the latest versnio of Outlook... and the user does not know the password.

Is there ANY way of solving this... or are they well and truely FUBAR'd...?

Suggestions on a postcard to the usual address (or just post here! ) Any help would be gratefully appreciated as I'm getting loads of on the ....

Do a Google search for a file called "pst19upg.exe" - this should remove the password.

Its also on a Technet CD. Of which my copy is at home - sorry Podie

EDIT: Found it!

A quick google search revels a few "cracks".

It may be worth trying that

There are many pst password recovery apps about. Outlook Recovery 2000 works for me.
