How to Remove Password from Archive PST Files in Outlook?
by Daniel Mark - Tuesday, 26 August 2025, 11:08 PM
 

I have some old archive PST files in Microsoft Outlook that are password-protected. Unfortunately, I no longer remember the passwords for these archives, and now I need to access the emails stored inside them. Is there any way to remove or bypass the password from these archive PST files so I can open them normally? I would prefer a safe and reliable method--either a manual solution (if available) or a trustworthy tool that can help with this issue. Has anyone faced this problem before? What is the best way to remove the password and regain access to my archive PST files?

If you have set a password on your PST (Personal Storage Table) file in Outlook and now you want to remove it, then there is no need to panic. I was recently facing the same problem, and I found a great tool, GainTools PST Password Recovery Tool.

This tool removes the password from the PST file without any data loss.

No technical knowledge is required, just load the file and see the password.

It works with Outlook 2019, 2016, 2013, and older versions as well.

I have used it myself and got my password in a few seconds.

If you are also facing the same problem, then definitely try this tool once.
