How to access to a password lock PST file without using any software ?

I need to get access to some of the PST files in MS Outlook 2003 whose password I can no longer remember. I cannot afford the expensive password recovery software. Is there any manual method through which I can get access to the contents of the locked PST file?

Also tell me the name of the popular PST Backup software that are not very expensive and are effective in working.

Yes, there are manual methods available through which you can get access to the contents of a PST file that is password protected. You don’t need to opt for the PST Password Recovery software. Actually, when we give the password to a PST file, MS Outlook creates a 32 bit hash value that represents the original password using CRC32 algorithm.

The good thing for you people out there is that there are a lot of matching passwords for the 32 bit hash value. For example if the password for a particular PST file is ‘1234’, you can open the file using either ‘yZdHpA’ or ‘hkNkwC’ or ‘YUWqKD’ and many more. Following is the list of commands from which you can use any one of them to get access to a password protected PST file:

• eyzVS1
• tHPuT3
• 5J8j84
• EvIoh4
• TGcLo6
• JeX2N7
• 1Rj78C
• nr9VuE
• CNQp0J
• pLMtUP
• O0fc8Q
• NaE3OT
• ArTniW
• z7s4mm
• YUfCxp
• yZUzCu
• 5kfzQx

Some of the popular Outlook PST Backup that you can opt for are Sys Tools, Static PST Backup Software etc.
