I am facing an issue with my Outlook PST file. I know the correct password, but Outlook still does not accept it and does not open the file. I have double-checked for typing errors, caps lock, and even tried copying and pasting the password, but nothing works. The PST file contains some important emails that I really need to access. Can anyone suggest why this is happening and how I can resolve the issue? Is there any reliable method or tool to open a PST file when the known password is not being accepted?

If your Outlook PST file is not opening despite entering the correct password, it could be due to file corruption, version incompatibility, or internal PST errors that prevent Outlook from recognizing the password. Even a correct password will not work if the file structure is damaged or if the PST was created in an older Outlook version. To safely access your emails, you can use Aryson PST Password Removal Tool, which is designed to remove PST passwords efficiently without altering the data. This tool allows you to unlock and access your important emails quickly, even when Outlook fails to accept the known password, ensuring that your valuable information remains intact.

Many times, we find that even though we know the password to an Outlook PST file, we can't open or access it. This situation is very frustrating, especially when it contains important emails, contacts, or attachments. If your Outlook .pst file is password-protected, I recently tried GainTools PST Password Recovery, and it was very helpful.

I'll share some key points:
  • Simple user-friendly interface, easy to use even without technical knowledge.
  • Fast scanning and high recovery rate, restores most common and complex passwords.
  • Original email and folder structure remain intact, so there's no fear of data loss.
  • Windows-compatible and supports multiple Outlook versions.
  • Easy to use: Load PST → Select recovery mode → View/Export passwords in the result.
If you're also facing PST password problems, PST Password Recovery Tool is a reliable option.
