lalegria,
If I understand your request correctly, you need to remove the password protection from your PST file, right?
If that is the case, make a copy of the PST file and run this utility on it:

If that works for you, please reject the proposed answer and I will repost this comment as the answer.

The passwords used on .pst files are associated between the .PST file and a profile. When you create a .pst file and add a password is gets encrypted between those two items. That is why you are not prompted for it again.
If you deleted your old Outlook profile and created a new one, you are probably out of luck. If you still have the profile in which the .pst was created, try opening if from there.
