If you have forgotten or lost the password for a PST file in Outlook, you can use the following methods to attempt to recover it:

Use PST Password Recovery Software: There are third-party tools available that specialize in PST password recovery. These tools use advanced algorithms to recover the password from the PST file. You can search for reputable PST password recovery software online, download and install it on your computer, and then follow the instructions provided by the software to recover the password.

Use Outlook Password Recovery: If you have set the same password for your PST file and your Outlook email account, you can try recovering the password through Outlook itself. Open Outlook and go to the "File" tab. Click on "Account Settings" and select "Account Settings" from the drop-down menu. In the "Data Files" tab, select the PST file for which you want to recover the password, and click on "Settings." Then, click on the "Change Password" button and follow the prompts to reset the password.

Try Common Passwords: If you can't remember the exact password, you can try common passwords that you typically use. This includes variations of your name, birth date, or commonly used passwords. It's important to note that this method may not be effective if you have used a unique or complex password.

Contact Microsoft Support: If none of the above methods work, you can contact Microsoft Support for assistance. Provide them with the necessary details and explain the situation. They may ask you to provide proof of ownership of the PST file before providing any further assistance.
