Unable to open PST file, asking for Password, never created one!?!?
I've been using Outlook 2007 for years and recently loaded it onto a new computer. I copied the PST file to the new computer and now it asks for a password. I have never used a PW. If I had, wouldn't the old computer (still sitting here, functioning perfectly) have asked me for it every time I opened Outlook? I can still open that file on that computer now without any PW...
Yes, the file is 4.5GB, and no, SCANPST didn't work. Any ideas would be welcome.

First of all run the Outlook as administrator at your new computer (right click to the Outlook shortcut, then choose menu Run as administratr and enter the proper password if it will be prompted. Then go to menu File > Open > Open Outlook Data File... and select your PST file. It should open it correctly.
In there is still a problem, you may need to recover your PST file. In some cases of damages it may start to prompt the password to open even it was not set.
