I have already had to break into the pst because he forgot the password. Now, a strange situation, he was in the middle of moving a file to a Personal Folder when the power to the building went down, a brown out, including his workstation, rebooted. Servers fine, UPS. So, once booted back up the Outlook client locks or won't complete a move, copy, anything all the way through in his Personal Folders that he was working with. I am attempting to play with the pst file on a separate PC so as not to mess with what's on his system. I was successful in copying the file to another workstation, but can't open it Personal Folder in his account, it prompts me for a password. Do I need to try to break into the folder again, or is it possibly that I'm logged into the machine as Administrator, and his mailbox as his username. Do I need to log on as him?
