How to Unlock Protected PST Files Without Using Outlook?

[Gerald01]

I have a few old PST files that are password protected, but unfortunately, I no longer have access to Outlook installed on my current system. These files contain some important emails and contacts that I need urgently. Can anyone please suggest a reliable method or tool to unlock or remove the password from these PST files without requiring Outlook? I am open to trying either free or paid solutions, as long as they are safe and effective.

A few days ago, I was unable to remember the password of one of my old Outlook PST files, and Outlook was not even installed. After a lot of effort, I used the GainTools PST Password Recovery Tool, and to be honest, it turned out to be much easier and faster than expected.

Removed the password in just a few steps.
Works with PST files of any Outlook version.
Also gives the option to set a new password or recover the old one.
The interface is also quite simple and user-friendly.
If you also have a password-protected PST file and Outlook is not accessible, then definitely try this tool.

I found it very helpful, maybe it will prove beneficial for you too!
