Hey Daniel, try Advanced Outlook Password Recovery There are a bunch of password recovery programs out there. This one works against the outlook encryption system to unencrypt the pst file without brute force guessing. http://www.elcomsoft.com/aolpr.html Experience: Found a working pass in one second. then logged in and locked the pst with a new password. If you need more info contact me privately. .frihani -----Original Message----- From: daniel.montgomery@xxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:daniel.montgomery@xxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, January 24, 2002 12:29 PM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] Where to find pstpatch.exe file to fix lost password for .pst http://www.MSExchange.org/ Using outlook 98, I forgot my .pst password. I found information about using the pst19upg.exe utility to "strip" the password. Unfortunately it didn't work (the operation encountered errors and bailed out). There's apparently another method that does something to the mspst32.dll to make it ignore password requirements. This requires "pstpatch.exe" but I can't find it on the internet. Anyone know where I can download this file from? Alternatively, are there other methods for resetting or bypassing the password to open a .pst file? Thanks
