Alrighty I need help desperately, and after looking over what others have wrote it doesn't look good.

One of my database files got trashed the other day so I've been frantically trying to recover it. I still know my password for filemaker (the program) and have punched in every single combination I can think of. I'm very organized with my passwords but as of right now none of them are working.

Is there anyway to reset the password for this file? Any and and all help would be appreciated beyond words.

You say that the file is "Trashed" are you getting a message about the file being unuseable, and it needs to be "Recovered", or did you "Recover" it and now it's asking for a password and user id?

Have you tried User Admin and your password?

What I mean by trashed is this. It was put into the trash and deleted and I recovered the file. Now when I try to open it, it asks for a name and password.

I've tried all the passwords I know, and punched in the admin password for filemaker 7.

I do not believe a FileMaker Pro file can be "recovered" in this fashion. Try user name Admin and leave the password blank and see what that does.
