RE: Outlook Personal Folders Password

Dear List, I am embarrassed to admit that I lost all my emails in Microsoft Outlook last week and I haven't been able to retrieve them. Now, every time I try to open Outlook, I am asked for my Personal Folders Password. My problem is that I don't know the password because I never had one i.e., in the past, I would double click on the Outlook icon and the application (along with all my emails!) would open right away. Along with asking for my password, there's an error message - "The server is not available." Here's what happened: I came home one evening and decided to go into IE to delete cookies, delete files and delete the history folder. Right after that, the system started requesting my password! Is there a default password for Outlook? Thanks. Regards, Edmond -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
