Why not in this modern technology world nothingis impossible. Few days back I was facing same situation with my Outlook PST file. Because of important file I apply security code to the PST file but when I try to open that file then I found that I have forgotten their code. I found that i haven't written its password anywhere. I was thinking that now I have to loss this important file. Suddenly I thought about Google and search with Outlook PST password recovery. I found these links on that
