ol2003 asks for a password when I never set a password
My OS = XP Media Center Edition. Office Professional 2003
I backed up my OL with a personal folders file before reinstalling windows. After reinstaling windows I copied the saved personal folders file to my documents on the hard drive. Then in OL: NEW OPEN OUTLOOK DATA FILE, I attempted to open the personal folders file and I was prompted for a password. I never set a password to my personal folders file. Does anyone know how I can "import" my OL personal folders file? Programs on the web claim to be able to "find" my password but I'm distrusting of scams, malware, etc

How did you backup & copy this data file?
And if you run scanpst.exe against this data file what does it report? "bakc4" wrote in message news  My OS = XP Media Center Edition.

See http://www.slipstick.com/problems/lostpw.asp for the method to remove
the password from older pst formats - but you may just need to run scanpst on it since it really wasn't passworded. -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com Outlook Tips by email: EMO - a weekly newsletter about Outlook and Exchange: Let's Really Fix Outlook 2010 http://forums.slipstick.com/forumdisplay.php?f=34 "bakc4" wrote in message news My OS = XP Media Center Edition.
