Re: Outlook Personal Folders Password

[Cam Fischer <camfischer () gmail com>]

The utility that upgrades a PST file, in the process will remove any
paswords. Simply "upgrade" the PST file in question, and viola... no
more password.

I believe the utlity pst19upg.exe is available on the Resource kit, if
not I think you can download it from the MS web site.
