Recovering Personal Folder Passwords (PST)


PSTs are pain in the back. And I hope every exchange Admin would agree to that.

Anything and every thing can go wrong with them corruption, stopping backups from running because some geek copied theirs to a network share and then left Outlook open, File servers crashing because of the amount of network connections being used by open PSTs, usage of space, users that think that the 2GB limit is a lie.

But the worst thing about them is customers who password protect them, then forget the password and then deny all knowledge of ever setting the password in the first place.

PstPassword is a small utility that recover lost password of Outlook .PST (Personal Folders) file.

It is an excellent tool for recovering the password or generating a new password for the file without corrupting it - give it a go, and the best thing about it is that its free (for non-commercial use).
