Title: Outlook 2010 with personal folder .pst suddenly asking for password
Post by: tomasagren on 26. July 2015., 22:56:25
Hello EE,
I have a user with a personal folder .pst in Outlook 2010 and suddenly it is prompting for a password and there was never one set so we cannot open.

To open the .pst file, you must enter the correct password. Remember that .pst passwords are case-sensitive. Try to remember whether the password that you assigned used uppercase and lowercase letters and make sure that your CAPS LOCK key is not on.

Passwords cannot be reset or recovered if lost. Microsoft is not able to retrieve lost .pst passwords.

In case you the guide above isn’t effective, look at following resources about such issue, where you must obtain a working solution...
