Outlook pst. password recovery

[J. Owens]

I have a user that is trying to open a .pst and it is asking for a password.
The user says he didn't apply a password to the .pst and when he uses his
current password, it doesn't work. Does anyone know of or have a solution.

You should run scanpst, the repair tool, on the pst.
Also try this http://www.securiteam.com/tools/6G00B1F0AS.html
