I recently came across some online guides that explain the manual method to recover a forgotten Outlook PST file password using older tools or registry tweaks. Before I try any of those, I want to make sure it is safe for my data. Has anyone actually used the manual method for PST password recovery? Is it reliable, or does it risk corrupting the PST file or causing data loss? If there’s a safer or more effective way to recover or remove the password from a protected PST file, please suggest it.
