locked out of outlook

  • Follow


Hi All,

I am using windows xp sr3 and outlook 2003.  For some reason when I try to 
bring up outlook it is asking for a password for the mailbox.pst file.  I 
don't ever remember creating a password.  How can I correct this behavior 
and get back into outlook?  Any help is most appreciated.  thanks,

--

Hi,

Even if you forget the password for the encrypted PST file, you can
still decrypt it by using Advanced Outlook Repair. Advanced Outlook
Repair can decrypt all the encrypted data and convert it into a new
PST file that doesn't require a password. You can visit
http://www.datanumen.com/aor/problems/outlook-password.htm to get more
detailed information.
http://www.datanumen.com/aor/ contains detailed information about
Advanced Outlook Repair.
And you can also download a free demo version at http://www.datanumen.com/aor/aor.exe

Hi,

When this happened I lost my current inbox and contact list.  Will this help 
recover them?  Thanks,

He's just pimping his product - it may or may not work for your situation.

Your problem is that the pst thinks it has a password but you are pretty 
sure you never passworded it, correct?

Hi Diane,

that is correct.  I did add a password to get back into outlook.

Well, as long as it works. :) The fix when outlook is confused about a 
password is a new profile but it may also work to click ok until it agrees.

So things are working for you now again or not? Your reply is a little bit 
confusing that way ;-)

In general the fix is to click the OK button until it doesn't prompt you 
anymore and you get access to Outlook (usually 3 times per pst-file). That 
is of course when there really isn't a password on the pst-file.

Just from my reference;
Did you perhaps recently upgraded your Outlook version or applied a specific 
update regarding Outlook?
Which mail account type are you using?
