Hi!

So sorry to bother you!

I have an SPSS .sav file that i encrypted with a password which is now not 
working-- i opened it this morning, and now i can't open it! I am beyond 
myself-- i don't understand what is going on. I read the thread that you 
figured out a code to open encrypted files? Or Do you have any other advice? I 
don't know what i have done wrong! 

I really appreciate any and all your time and help on this issue!

Thank you so much!!
