How to Unlock Protected PST File Without Password?

[Jenson01]

I have an Outlook PST file that was password-protected, and I have forgotten the password. I need to access the emails inside — this is my own PST (not someone else’s). I tried a few likely passwords, but nothing worked. I do not want to lose the data. Has anyone recovered or removed a PST password safely and legally? What methods or tools worked for you?

If you use Microsoft Outlook and have ever forgotten your PST file password, don't worry. I recently tried GainTools PST Password Recovery Software, and it proved to be very useful. The software's specialty is that it can recover passwords from Outlook PST files of any size without any data loss. Its user interface (UI) is very simple, requiring no technical knowledge.
