.pst password request without one having been set!

.pst password request without one having been set!
I am running Vista home premium SP 2 and use outlook 2003, SP3 with 2 profiles. I have been using this for the last 6 months. Every 2 to 3 months outlook gets really sluggish after you have opened 4 to 6 items sequentialy. If outlook is closed and re-opened, it is fine for another 4 to 6 items.
I found a help item which suggested resetting outlook to original settings in the help “detect & repair” which worked fine and I could reimport the original .pst files.
However, the last time I did this, the .pst file requested a password although I have never used one.
I now cannot access any of my old e-mails or contacts which I normaly import using the outlook facility, but is now stopped for needing a password.
I have tried the e-mail setup password that I use but this does not work.
Any idea’s would be welcome!!!
