Encyption of Logfiles by Andy_veal on 01-03-2006 at 10:56 PM

I have encypted my logfiles, but recently I have changed computers and i have forgot my orginial password. Is there any way I can access my old logfiles?

They contain passwords for other accounts, that I cant access now.

Any help :)

If you forgot the password of the logfiles then they are only bytejunk :P

There is no way to access the files without the proper password, else it wouldn't be very good security now would it :)

There is no magic uncryption program?


RE: Encyption of Logfiles by Ezra on 01-03-2006 at 11:07 PM

Nope, sorry

Not even Patchou can decrypt them without the password

Its back to guessing the password then. Thanks for your help

Wasn't it a password you used all the time? If you used a password you've never used before then that was silly because you'll never remember...!!
