MS Money password problem
We recently lost (ok fired) our office manager, but not before she put nifty passwords on all the MS Money data we had and now she has, of course, gone on a three week vacation. I have all the relevant WP password retrieving mechanisms but not one for MS Money. Anyone with pointers or programs, your help would be greatly appreciated. Matt

Welp, good luck to you. Of course, this should be a great huge reminder of why BACKUPS are important. If you have a backup of the data >BEFORE< she locked it, you only lost anything entered from between the date of the backup and "today." Tim of course has a point. Strong crypto isn't breakable. Don't know what MS Money uses... :-( =================================================================93======= + ^ + | Ray Arachelian | Amerika: The land of the Freeh. | \-_ _-/ | \|/ |sunder@escape.com| Where day by day, yet another | \ -- / | <--+-->| | Constitutional right vanishes. |6 _\- -/_ 6| /|\ | Just Say | |----\ /---- | + v + | "No" to the NSA!| Jail the censor, not the author!| \/ | =======/---------------------------------------------------------VI------/ / I watched and weeped as the Exon bill passed, knowing that yet / / another freedom vanished before my eyes.

Nope. the backups are just as protected. Granted I doubt it is anything but trivial, but i do have a regular job and every hour i spend getting this password is a billable hour gone...
