- The other day I tried to retrieve a document I have from about 2-3 years
- ago. Being security minded I had password protected it. Of course by now you
- know where this is leading, I can't remember the password! This would not be
- so bad if it was one document, but I checked all of my documents from that
- time frame (about 50 of them) and they all were also locked. I have an old
- program called TRYALL4.EXE which can guess passwords up to 4 characters long.
- Of course, mine were longer. I have tried every password I can remember with
- no luck at all. Is there any program which can help me? If it could just
- give me the first few letters of the password I could most likely identify it.
- Has anyone else had this problem? If so what did you do? Can anyone help?
- Thanks.
