Microsoft Outlook .pst (Personal Folder) files can be password protected with a very weak encryption algorithm which is great for users who have forgotten the password of their password protected files. Those users, and anyone else, will unfortunately also come to the conclusion that a weak password protection might keep a spying wife or co-worker at bay but not a single user who knows what he is doing.
Nirsoft created the PstPassword (via Genbeta) application, a Outlook PST Password Recovery software compatible to Outlook 97, Outlook 2000, Outlook XP, Outlook 2003, and Outlook 2007 which does not require Outlook to be installed on the system to recover the passwords. As usual the software can be run from any location on the hard drive without installation.
It also comes with a graphical user interface and command line options, high quality like usual. All pst files of the user who is logged into the system will be displayed automatically. Other pst files can be dragged into the program window or loaded from the File menu.
Several passwords can restore the contents of a pst file which is why PstPassword displays three working ones after analysing the pst file. Each password will work and it can be that none of them is the original password that was used to password protect the file. The list of passwords can be saved in various formats for later usage.
