If it does or not, I personally would like to know http://lastbit.com/download.asp "The secret to creativity is knowing how to hide your sources." -Albert Einstein Tech Ninja Security

If it is modified try this: http://seclists.org/lists/bugtraq/2004/Mar/0254.html Now if it is 'from opening' you'll probably need to use a program. DO you even know what type of encryption you used to protect the file? http://www.linuxsecurity.com/docs/Hack-FAQ/cryptology/word-password-recovery.sht ml There also used to be a way to edit the file to turn the password character number to 0 i believe, but i doubt that still works.
