[Steven Cappiello]

Hi there,

I forgot a password to a small .fp7 file I haven't worked on in over a year. Can someone help me retrieve or reset it ?

Hi,

Try to google "FileMaker password recovery" or you can try to search in this forum "+Password +cracker"

HTH.

thanks.. I know I can find a cracker.. but since it was a small database, I was trying to avoid paying $40 to retrieve my old password. $10 I would pay. Or a beer? Can anyone help?

(personally, I think I'm entitled to my password.. even if I've forgotten it!)

Most of the "crackers" out there will allow entry into the file but it wont return what the orig password was. Furthermore, it will aggresively destroy part of the security feature in the file so its not really a good idea.
