If your Outlook PST file is password protected and the password has been forgotten, the practical option is to remove or reset the PST password instead of rebuilding the mailbox. That way, the existing emails, folders, contacts, calendars, and attachments remain in the same Outlook data file.

For an old PST archive, I’d first check whether the password is simply blocking access to the file. If the password is known, Outlook can remove or change it from the PST data file settings. The difficulty is when an archived PST is locked and the original password is no longer available. Creating a new Outlook profile does not solve that problem because the mailbox data is still stored inside the protected PST.

For that situation, GainTools PST Password Recovery Software is a practical option. It works with both ANSI and Unicode PST files, so it can be used with older as well as newer Outlook data files. The process does not depend on having the old password available, which is the main reason to use a dedicated PST password recovery utility instead of trying to change the password through Outlook.

Another useful point is that the software can work without Microsoft Outlook being installed on the computer. That can be handy when the locked PST has been copied from an old office PC or backup drive and the original Outlook setup is no longer available. It also provides a password reset option when the goal is to assign a new password rather than leave the PST without one.

It supports PST files used with different Outlook versions and is designed for Windows systems, including Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10, and 11, with support for both 32-bit and 64-bit environments.

I would keep the original PST untouched and make a working copy first. After removing or resetting the password, open the processed PST and check several folders rather than only the Inbox. I’d verify older emails, Sent Items, contacts, calendars, and a few messages containing attachments. That confirms the archive is opening properly and the mailbox data is still accessible before the processed file is used as the main copy.

For a forgotten PST password, this is much simpler than rebuilding the archive or manually exporting thousands of emails into another Outlook file.

If you have an old Outlook PST file that is password protected and you no longer remember the password, it can be difficult to access the emails and other mailbox data stored inside it. This situation is quite common with archived PST files, old backups, or data files created on a previous computer. Rather than trying random methods that could affect the file, it is better to use a dedicated PST password removal solution.
One tool worth considering is SysTools PST Password Recovery. It is specifically designed to remove password protection from Outlook PST files and make them accessible again, even when the original password is not known. The tool supports both ANSI and Unicode PST files and can work with PST files from different Outlook versions. It also does not require Microsoft Outlook to be installed or configured, which can be useful when you are working with an old PST archive on another computer. 
What I found useful is that it provides multiple ways to add PST files. You can add an individual file, select a folder containing multiple PST files, or use the search option when you are unsure where the PST file is stored. This makes it more convenient when dealing with several archived or password-protected PST files at once. The software also displays the protection status of the added files before the password-removal process. 
The process is fairly simple: launch the tool, add the password-protected PST file or folder, check the displayed status, and use the Remove Password option. SysTools also provides a demo version, which can be useful for checking the PST protection status before deciding whether the full version is suitable for your requirements. 
If the PST contains important emails, contacts, calendars, or attachments, I would recommend creating a backup copy before processing it. Also, the tool should only be used with PST files that you own or are authorized to access. For anyone dealing with forgotten passwords on their own Outlook archives, this tool is reliable to use.
