I added the encryption option to my log files latley... but am trying to open them and i always get that the password is incorreect although am sure about my password ..

And now i do really need them urgently PLZ

PLZ PLZ PLZ PLZ
if anybody can help me

I need this solution urgently

thanks alot in advance

u can't access the enctypted logs without the correct password...
it could be like when u typed the password there may be any key doubly pressed... try them with possible of the words u typed .. but i think there may be too many possible word of ur password...

I did try all the possible passwords.. but nuthing new ...

So there is no way to recover the password or decrypt the file ??

Nope well not as far as i know, I think Phoenix resets it but i dont think its gonna solve the problem.

Do you have Caps Locl/Number lock on or anything?

I no this might be illegal, but there is away. Windows has to store the passwords somewere so you can download a password finder thing. It detects all the passwords you've ever put on the pc...

EDIT: I may be wrong but it looks a little suspicious wanting to get into encrypted logs... I bet there someone elses and you want to see or something. Sorry if im bieng rude

Messenger Plus! log file encryption passwords are not stored anywhere and can not be retrieved in any way

Phoenix doesnt have anything to do with this. It can only reset the lock preferences password (which is in fact very easy to do by yourself).

Windows doesn't store the password anywhere...

And passwords don't have to be stored somewhere anyways. Password are often used as encryption keys (which is the case in Messenger Plus!) The Key is used to calculate the encryption/dycryption and thus it isn't needed to store it at all.

Totally useless...

Each application and program that uses passwords use the passwords in different ways and if they are stored they are stored all in a different way. Windows has got nothing to do with this. Programs of which you speak of don't exist in a sense that each password finder program is specifically designed to find password for certain programs. There is no such thing as a magic all-around password finder.

He doesn't want to spy on logs from other people, he encrypted his own logs and "lost" the password...

THANX PPL FOR YOUR REPLIES...

ALTHOUGH I STILL WISH THAT SOMEONE CAN HELP ME SOLVING THIS PROBLEM

THANKS AGAIN
And if anyone has got anymore solutions please post them

That will not help at all, though...

It will only help for futur logging, which will not be encrypted anymore. The OP has asked for a way to open his existing encrypted logs, which is totally impossible without the proper password.
