Microsoft Outlook users often password protect their PST (Personal Storage Table) file to keep their emails, contacts, calendars and other data safe. But sometimes, when we forget the password or have trouble entering the password again and again, we need to remove it.
In this blog, we will learn:
- What is a PST file and why does it contain a password
- How to remove the password manually
- Using third-party tools
- Points to keep in mind
What is a PST file?
A PST file is a file format in Microsoft Outlook that stores your email data offline. It includes email messages, attachments, contacts, calendar events, etc.
When you password protect a PST file, you have to enter the password every time you open the file. This is good for security, but it can also be a hassle if you forget the password.
Manual Method – Using Microsoft Outlook to Remove Password
Note: This method will only work if you remember the password. If you have forgotten the password completely, you will have to use tools.
Step-by-step process:
- Open Outlook
- Start Microsoft Outlook on your computer.
- Load the PST file
- Go to the File menu
- Select the Account Settings → Data Files tab
- Select the PST file from which you want to remove the password
- Click Change/Remove Password
Settings - Select the Change Password option
- Enter the old password
- Leave the New Password and Verify Password fields blank
- Click OK
- Restart Outlook
- Now the PST file will open without the password
This method is completely free and safe, but it is important to remember the password.
