Importing Outlook 2K .pst to Outlook 2003

[Skip Bisconer]

I just installed Office 2003 Pro and when I try to import
my Outlook 2K .pst files it asks me for a password. I have
never used a password in Outlook but it will not let me
past the prompt. Any help you can give me will be
appreciated.

Don't import but connect to it instead;
File-> Open-> Outlook Data File...

To set it as the default delivery location;
Tools-> E-mail Accounts...-> button Next-> use the dropdownlist below

For the password prompt;
There is a handy tool to strip the password of a pst-file. The funny thing
is that this tool wasn't even written for stripping the password of a
pst-file but for upgrading the pst-file to a newer format. Stripping the
password was just a (handy) side effect. Don't use this tool for any illegal
activities!!!

Read the pstread.txt file included in the zip before using the utility!
