I found a couple tools as well. The one I found worked, but you have to pay for it. However, the evaluation copy did recover passwords NOT longer than 4 characters. But if you're password isn't more than 4 characters, why even have one?

Another tool I found, pst19upg.exe, which is supposed to update the format of the .pst file or something, I couldn't get to work.

But thanks for the reply and I'll keep looking around for some more possibilities.

You'll have to pay for it. If the information is important enough the software isn't that expensive for your company to foot the bill.

which one did you use................

OPasRec10.exe. The pst19upg.exe I couldn't get to work. It's a command line tool, but I just kept getting error messages. A website I found said you needed to use 3 times the amount of the memory that the original .pst file used...? I had no idea, but I don't think it was that big of a deal.
