My system lost stability and I did the full restore DVD.

I reinstalled Outlook 2007 and attempted to open my backup.pst file but it
asks for a password. It doesn't let me advance leaving it blank and it
doesn't accept my POP3 email password. When I created the file I left the
password field blank.

I am able to get to my email through the web client and by setting up a new
POP3 account in 2007 but i can't access any of my old emails some of which I
really need.

How can I get my emails?

Where is this pst file located that you are trying to open?
