Default outlook data file password

I had to reinstall microsoft office due to a crash. i have the data
file backed up but when i try to open it it askes for a password. I
never used one. Where did this come from and what can i do to open it?
When i reinstalled i had to get a new activation code. does this affect
the password? Thanks Dean

The activation code has nothing to do with the problem, the crash might
have. This page may or may not help:
