After upgrading to Outlook 2003 my PST password is no longer requested

[Peter]

I upgraded to Outlook 2003. Previously my PST file was password
protected. For some reason the password is no longer requested when
starting Outlook.

Any ideas?

If you select the change Password button is the check box "Save this
password in your password list" checked, if so uncheck it.

Oh! The box was checked, now I am very embarrassed.

Several users at my site have installed Outlook 2003 on their systems.
(moving from 2000 or Office XP). After upgrading our old PST email
archives on the server now initiate a password prompt, however nobody
has figured out a password that will actually work and these files
were not password protected in the first place?

What gives?

Unfortunately that doesn't help. There is no "pst.password" file on the system.

ANy other suggestions?
