Strange PST issue

[Chiefcrowe]

I was helping someone with their PST file misbehaving (outlook 2010), so I decided to run scanpst to fix it.
After it fixed some errors, then I tried to open it and it suddenly started asking for a password ?!?
It didn’t open on another pc either. Not sure what to do now, any ideas?

bump.
i think it could be corrupt but i want to see if there is anything I can do before giving up...

Run SCANPST on the file again. I have seen several cases where the program fixes some errors on the first run, and then finds more the second time through.

Thank you. I was about to try that in a few minutes one more time to see if it did anything.

Just tried that, and it didn't work. It found no more errors in the file.

I have a feeling this file is lost!
