Microsoft® Outlook® allows to protect its Personal Storage File (PST) with a password. A password hash is stored in the file header; the content of the file is not encrypted, and the password is recovered instantly by AOPR.

 

To recover PST passwords for Outlook® 97, 98, 2000, 2002/XP, 2003, 2007 and 2010, open the PST file in AOPR. The password will be recovered immediately, displayed in the message box and written to the log window.

 

Please note that in some cases, the password recovered by AOPR is different from the one originally set. This is due to the encryption algorithm used in Outlook®, as the original password is not stored in the file. Note that the password displayed by AOPR will be accepted by Outlook® once you enter it.
