What to Do if Outlook Data File Password Lost?
If you have set a password for your outlook data file (*.pst file), but unfortunately, the outlook data file password lost, what to do?
Maybe there are 3 chioces:
1.Recover password then unlock the outlook pst file.
2.Unlock outlook pst file without password.
3.Give up the locked pst file.
If you choose 3, give up the locked pst file, I am so regret to hear that. Some of your previous precious emails might lost too.
If you choose 2, unlock outlook pst file without password, how to do that? By now I still can't find a correct method to unlock outlook pst file without password.
If you choose 1, recover password then unlock the outlook pst file with recovered password. I think that is feasible.

Most important, this password recovery tool do no harm to PC system and you don't need to do any change on PC.
