Change password-protected PST files without MS Outlook

In this blog, I have briefly explained how you can easily change or remove a protected Outlook PST password. You can also remove the password of any PST created with MS Outlook 2013, 2016, 2019, and earlier. As we know, passwords are always the priority, and many Outlook users have protected their PST files with passwords.

But sometimes, we need to remember the PST file password due to a problem opening the PST file. It would be best to have the old password to open the PST file. To avoid all these problems, you can use a manual or third-party application to remove the PST password in MS Outlook.

Manual Method for removing protected PST file password with Outlook

• Open the MS Outlook application on the system.
• Click the account setting icon, and select the account settings option.
• Tab data files option.
• Double-click on the required profile, and press change password.
• Without an old password, you can’t recover your PST password. It also provides some options. If the user does not want to add a password on the PST file, leave both fields blank, add a new password, and fill in both fields.
• Then click the OK button.

Note: This manual method only works when you remember your old PST files password; without passwords, it can’t work.
