I recently found an old PST file from my previous Outlook account that contains some important emails and attachments. The problem is that I do not remember the password I set years ago. Now I need to access the data inside, but Outlook keeps asking for the password. Is there any way to open or recover this PST file without knowing the password? I want to ensure that I do not lose any emails or corrupt the file in the process. Any reliable solution, manual method, or tool recommendation would be really helpful.

Microsoft Outlook users often save their old emails, contacts and other data in a .PST (Personal Storage Table) file. But if you are trying to open an old PST file and have forgotten its password, it can cause trouble. I recently tried to open an old Outlook PST file but could not remember its password. After trying several methods, I came to know about the GainTools PST Password Recovery Tool.

This tool opened my locked PST file without any data loss. Its interface is also quite simple and no technical knowledge is required.

Key Features:

Helps open a PST file without a password
Works with all versions of Outlook
User-friendly and fast process

If anyone has forgotten the password of a PST file, then this tool is a great option.
It helped me a lot; maybe you will too.
