Locked out of file by Unknown Password

[Nevada Traveler]

I just created a new file and somehow I locked myself out with an unknown password - totally unintentional. I have FM 8.5

I have tried "File --> File Options --> Log in Using "Admin" but I am not alllowed that option.

Since this is a personal verison of FM, I assume I am my own administrator. How do I access that part of FM that will allow me to undo whatever password is there and open my file. Help!

Appreciated:

You probably setup an account with some limited privileges and then set your file to login using that account when the file open.

If you did not remove the Admin account, then you can just hold down shift when you open the file. It will display a popup box that will allow you to enter in another account name. Enter in the Admin account.

Your info was very helpful - thank you.

I was able to get the file open and finally figured out how to inactivate the password request that kept popping up everytime I tried to open the file.

Thanks again for you expertise.
