I had backed a password protected outlook.pst file (office 2003) on a
CD. Upgraded my PC from XP to XP Pro - reinstalled office. Now I cannot
open the backed up pst file. Is there away to recover the data from the
backed-up pst file??

Assuming you know the password, make sure you copy the PST to the hard drive
and remove the read-only attribute. Then open the PST in Outlook with
File>Open>Outlook Data File. It should ask for the password.
