How to Regain Access of Outlook When You Forgot PST Password

All your Exchange Outlook mailbox data are stored on the local hard drive of your system in a PST or Personal Folder file. That means you have a backup copy of your emails, contacts, attachments, notes, calendar entries, etc. of your Outlook mailbox on the local hard drive of your system. Though it is a useful utility as PST files are your backup files, but anyone who knows the location of your PST file in your system can easily access your entire mailbox data. Therefore, to overcome this drawback, Microsoft has enabled the feature to password protect the PST files as well.

You can password protect your PST file and save it from any unauthorized access. However, if you forget the password applied on your PST file, then Microsoft Outlook does not provide any method to recover it. So, you have to be very careful while applying password on your PST file. But, in any case, if you have forgotten the password of your PST file, then use of a reliable Outlook password recovery software is recommended.

Let us take a practical example to understand this situation. Mike – a charted accountant in a multi-national organization uses MS Outlook in his office.
At times he shares his system with his colleagues and subordinates for some work related issues and for this he has to share his PC’s password with them. However, before going for a vacation, he applied password on the PST file saved on his system as he does not want to share his Outlook mailbox data with anyone who enters in his system.

However, coming back from the vacation, he found that he forgot the password of the PST file. Alas! All his mailbox data became inaccessible. However, he tried many times but was unable to recall the password. Worried! He went to the System Support department of his organization, and shared the problem with them.

They pacified Mike by saying that recovery of lost or forgotten PST password is possible with the help of an efficient Outlook password recovery software. They tool his system, ran one of the most reliable Outlook password recovery software, and provided him a set of six usable PST passwords to unlock his PST file. By using one of the passwords from these six, he unlocked his PST file and got back the accessibility of his Outlook mailbox.

If you are also the one who is suffering from any such issues in which, you lost the password applied on your PST file, then using a reliable Outlook password recovery software can be the best way to rectify the loss.
