No luck so far, still working on it. Tried various lists with rules, telephone
numbers etc. I obviously must have 1) switched away from known passwords or
simple words 2) switched versions since the encryption is different. Had a
thought yesterday that it may have been my daughters work left on my PC so
have contacted and sent the file to her too. She's on a short break home next
week if she has any luck I'll know then. In the meantime I'll crack on.
