password problem - please help

[dpurpose1]

Hello,

After trying to install Filemaker Server 8 on my Macbook Pro (Mac OS 10.6.8) and fooling a little with privileges, I am now asked for a password to my 'Filemaker Account', in order to open files that I've been using for years without being asked for a password. I recovered the files and the application in a back up dated before I started installing FMServer, and it still asks for a password. I have Filemaker v8. I either don't know what the user name and password is, or it is stored within these files.

This is my personal and business contact file with over 9000 records. I NEED to be able to open it, or save the data somehow. I am willing to throw some money at this if I have to.

Thanks for any help you can offer.
