Hey edward, There are no default ones as you have to set one for it first. Try a shareware app or something--google for .pst password recovery tools. What have you tried to fix the corrupted mail file? (Scanpst.exe etc?) How important is the mail-I would suggest a commercial tool if they are very important. It's not the mail account password you're being prompted for is it?

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.
