One of the attorneys in this office password protected a computer folder 
several years ago and now wants to access teh folder, but has forgotten the 
password.  He asked me how to gain access.

I did not know, but knew that the web knew.  I put in the words "wordperfect 
lost password" on alltheweb.  I received 62,800 hits.  I did not go past the 
first 20 hits, all of which were for commercial software that promised to 
recover the password, in most cases inexpensively.

Now, I will assume that only 1/3 of the remedies actually work.  Does that 
trouble anyone on this list besides me?  What would prevent me or a 
disgruntled employee from buying the software and accessing all of a firm's 
sensitive material?  (While the cheap software that will remedy the problem 
only ties into WordPerfect, the same site offered software that would 
allegedly would crack Lotus, Quicken, Quickbooks, etc.)
