Subject: Re: Problem with Session restore
Thanks for your thoughts.
The Password has indeed been lost, but not from me.
It is a file of my boss. he asked me, if i know a way to recover a lost
password.
After some research i found John and tried it.
This happened mid 2012 i guess. Due to some Hardware-issues i re-started
the whole session some month ago using OMP instead of MPI, but i don't have
any clue, how the password might look like.
I will just keep the session running, until it finds something...
The file was not essential, but it would have been nice to get it back.
I actually don't know, if it has been rebuild by now...
regards
Marc
