How to Remove Forgotten PST Password in Outlook 2019

[Blaine]

Before trying any PST password recovery method, I’d make a separate backup of the original file first. That way, if a recovery tool damages the file or changes something unexpectedly, you still have the untouched copy.

I follow the same rule with messaging apps too, especially modified apps where local backups can be important. I’ve found the backup and safety information in these GB WhatsApp guides useful for understanding how to protect chats and app data before making changes.
