Please be more specific because this error is commonly encountered in the older earlier versions Outlook. nn

Hi Barry,

Let me explain you again.

I am using a FREE tool having name as Nucleus Kernel PST Password Recovery, it claims that it will recover my password from a protected PST file. I download it and used it on my PST file. But it gives me an error saying “seek failed on an unnamed file”. So, now I need to know how to overcome this error and how to recover my PST file password. Any other good tool, if you can recommend.

Hello Leo, nnI guess Barry is right, you have to define things more profoundly so we could give right answer. Well, To be frank, I have never heard about such error while handling PST file. I guess, the software (Kernel PST Password Remover) which you are using to remove encryption is not able to nail it and therefore showing the error. nnWhy you don’t give a try to another third party source, whereas you are already paying for something. nnAlternative: & RegardsnMichael Scofieldn

Listen up Michael and try it once! nn
