I know someone who has a forgotton password, and someone esle who has a valid copy of ERD with the locksmith thing.

I'm not sure but I think Ive read that if you use this to change the password you will lose access to most files.

Is this correct? Hoping some of you have used it and know.

Any encrypted files will be lost by resetting the passwrod since it will break the link between the private and public keys. Just out of curiousity, how do you manage to find so many people with major computer problems?

Thanks.

There are a lot of people where I work and I talk about computers with them. Any problems and I tell them I know a bunch of guys who know lots about computers. Hope you dont mind all the questions. I dont take credit for them, the answers

Oh files are not encrypted by default are they?

Look up EFS (Encrypting File System) on XP.
