Password Recovery

[tnlnsl]

Six months ago I set up Microsoft Money 2006 on a new laptop. This week the laptop crashed and I lost the money program with six years of data. The good news I kept the MNY Back ups on a Memory Stick. The bad news I can't remember the password to restore it, I know I should have written it down. I welcome any suggestions how I can either recover the password or bypass it.

Try ... Passware

Thank you Fat64, Haven't quite recovered the password yet, but I am getting excellent help from their Techs

nirsoft.net has loads of free (!!!) password recovery tools.

Nirsoft does not have a password tool for Microsoft Money.

If you go with Passware you should not need the full kit only the "Money Key" program

Another popular password recovery suite is made by Elcomsoft

BTW these programs work using "brute force" so it could take a long time to recover.
