Sometimes, our clients forget their Outlook .pst passwords. These are the passwords set on a .pst file which is the Outlook folder saved locally on the computer. This is not the Exchange or pop3 password assigned by your Microsoft Exchange administrator or by Google or another e-mail service. This is the password that had to be created by the computer user. This occurs when creating a new Outlook .pst or folder by going within Outlook to File->New->.pst / folder. Within the setup, it asks if you want to password-protect the .pst. If you enter a password, then you’ll need to enter the password every time you open it.
Here are the top 3 ways to crack your Outlook .pst folder password:
- PST Password Recovery Software – a rare free .pst password recovery software tool
- Stellar PST Repair – A professional e-mail data recovery tool that will recovery passwords and repair corrupted Outlook folders and files.
- Atomic Mailbox Password Recovery – a trial or buy software that works with Outlook, Outlook Express, Eudora, Thunderbird, and Netscape Mail.
It should be noted that this software is to be used for your own Outlook .pst folders, and not to hack into other accounts. This point is obvious, but must be stated to protect my derriere so I don’t come off looking like a computer hacker! If you’re not comfortable trying this on your own, you should contact an Outlook data recovery specialist.
