Sorry but it's tough luck...Patchou's encryption is extremely good. No one can hack it...although you're more than welcome to try if you can figure out a way.

I think when Plus! 3 comes out you will be able to re-set the password. I think.

you need to use the same password though, and does that even work?

ooo, ok, well, my file is from a long time ago so even i have on idea what's in it... that's why i can't unencrypted it.

Check your PM (top right hand corner says private messages click that)

She remembered her password for it.
[11:42 PM] Patch: nope, it's just using an a 128bits encryption key that cannot be found except if you have hundreds of P4 trying every possible combinations for twenty years 
[11:50 PM] Patch: well, when I said hundreds of P4 for years, it was true... that'S why this kind of encryption system if effective... computers do not have the capacity to compute the solution... it would take one single computer more than a century (litterally)
Needless to say, hacking chat logs is "un-possible" (Quote by Ralph Wiggum The Simpons)
