IF the owner of the id also entered an internet password AND it is the same as the one for the id file, then you can use brute force (dictionairies) to try and crack it. Get the encrypted value in the properties>fields>HTTPPassword of the persons document in the PNAB and compare it to the results of the @password() function. Alternatively, do a search for old id files which might still be accessible with the 'default' password (if you know which one that is), but you won't be able to access servers that have the 'check password' option enabled. If you need to access a local DB that has 'enforce a consistant ACL across all replicas' enabled, just use another id and add that person's name with the necessary roles to the ACL via LotusScript.
