You can't. That's what passwords are for. Start with a new file and
build your own file.

I don't have any experience with it but
www.lostpassword.com/filemaker.htm has a program you can purchase for
$39 which will recover Filemaker passwords in all versions up to 11

It's a pretty inexpensive way to learn a valuable lesson. Keep copies
of your database passwords, actually any important passwords, in a
safe and secure place.

In this group we refrain from advice that might be used illegally, like 
cracking, hacking and reverse-engineering some-one elses solutions. We can't 
stop you giving this advice, but please consider your reply to these kind of 
questions.

Keep well, Hou je goed, Ursus

Please note: All passwords in FM versions above 6 are stored in an 
unrecoverable hash string. This CANNOT be "recovered." Ever.

What password crackers do is replace the hash with one they know 
corresponds to a password they supply. They write into the file. They 
may or may not write correctly, which often introduces corruption.  In 
other words, you cannot trust or continue to develop such files going 
forward, so using such a cracker on a file you want to keep and work on 
is useless.

The only legitimate use for such crackers is to get data out of a file, 
assuming you own the data. All other uses are illegal, or 
counterproductive, to say the least.  Don't spend the $39.

This is excellent advice. Every client I have, I've stored the 
passwords somewhere physical. Computers come and go. Files corrupt or 
don't get transferred.

Passwords in frequent use and personal passwords, I have a database for 
that. Whatever. I've found that even if you're currently working in the 
files every day and think you'll never forget the clever pwd you 
thought up, in 5 years you will not remember. Oops.

Thanks Lynn. I was not aware of that, it sounds as though that
procedeure could cause some corruption to a file. I do the same as you
so will never have a use for such a program.

Ursus, when you say "we" refrain ... should I assume you have a mouse
in your pocket?

I understand there is a possibiltiy that this person is looking for a
way to crack a file that is not theirs but would prefer to give them
the benefit of the doubt and after all lostpasswords.com is hardly a
government secret. Here is my logic. If the person is a thief, my
advice is useless, they are not going to spend the money, they are
looking for free only. If the request is legit, they may have lost
some important data and be grateful to get it back for only $39. yeah
I know they were stupid to lose the password in the first place, but
everyone makes mistakes. I see no real risk to my reply.

After having said all that, as a developer I understand exactly how
you feel.

That could all be true ... except for one major fact you've forgotten:
this *is* the Internet. To quote Obi-Wan Kenobi, "You will never find a
more wretched hive of scum and villainy."   ;o)


Helpful Harry  :o)

My main point was thieves don't want to spend money and my one and
only suggestion involved spending a reasonable amount of it. I did not
offer a free alternative. Were's the harm?

Also, the internet is a subset of humanity, a rather large subset. So
Harry, I hope you are wrong, otherwise the prognosis is dismal.
