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.) ******************************************** Stuart Levine Fisher & Winner, LLP 315 North Charles Street Baltimore, Maryland 21201 Telephone: 410.385.2000 Telecopier: 443.927.7075 Cellphone: 410.802.5817 Weblog: http://taxbiz.blogspot.com http://www.taxation-business.com [email protected] ********************************************* ------------------------ Yahoo!
