Help how do I fix a lost password problem? I have a .pst
folder that I, for whatever reason, passworded and now I
can not remember the password. This is a stand alone, one
user machine. I have tried all my usual passwords and do
not even remember protecting the folder when I created
it. Can anyone help????????
 
Look on google.com for pst19upg.exe. It will strip the password from your
..pst file but it is a long process. If you don't mind spending the money,
there are other services, also available via google search, that will offer
to retrieve your password for a fee. Search on Password Recovery Services
for hits.

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.

This is a rather advanced tool. If you have any questions
or problems, write back.

My advice would be to send the file to an expert who can find the
password for you. We sometimes use these guys to recover MS Outlook
PST file passwords:
