Help - PST file password lost

[Domo]

What happens if someone forgets their password for a PST file in Outlook 2007?
MS says it's too bad but this guy has 10GBs of mail in there and failure is not an option
Of course, the user is telling me they never set a password.

Try this http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/pst_password.html

It supports Outlook 2007, and I'd suggest you make a backup of the file before using any tools to try to obtain the password... last thing you want is the file to become corrupted.

Thanks - will give it a go. Already have multiple backups

Hmmm - contains a file called mailpv.exe which McAfee immediatley deleted. A few Google searches later reveals this particular .exe to be a little unfriendly!
