Can you enter the password in one go (combine both passwords, no spaces)?

it is Outlook 2010 but it also didn't work. There is a little ticket box where it says "Save this password in your list" - Where is this list?
This list on the PC where the PST was original from, under the username who had access to it. IF the user opened it often and clicked that checkbox. If the original owner decides to NOT click the checkbox, you're still back to bruteforce cracking the password. Didn't the software provide you with that option>?
