You have posted no information. Include your Outlook version, what you are
trying to do, why "Import" is necessary, and what you are trying to import.

You do not import PST files. You open them.
Why do you need to import your PST file?

First, copy the PST to your hard drive. Next, right-click it, choose
Properties, and remove the read-only attribute. Third, start Outlook and
click FIleOpenOutlook Data File. Fourth, browse to the PST, select it,
and click OK. You now have access to all the data it contains. NEVER
import from a PST.

Use the account "Administrator" in safe mode to give your normal user
permission to access the file and then take ownership of it with the normal
user.
