We recently faced a situation where a former employee left behind an Outlook PST file that is password-protected, and no one in the team knows the password. As admins, we need to access the data inside the PST for internal review and documentation, but Outlook keeps asking for the password every time we try to open it. Has anyone dealt with a similar situation? What are the possible ways to unlock or remove the password from a PST file when the original user is no longer available? We are looking for a reliable and safe method—manual or tool-based—without risking data corruption.
