some of those servers were down tonight.

Perhaps you tried Money 2005 on the old machine. See

I switched computers and saved my backup on a removeable hard drive. I
attempted to restore my backup file on my newly installed Money 2004 program
on a new computer and when it asks for my password, I enter it and it says I
have the wrong one. I am CERTAIN that this is the password and don't know
why it's saying it's the wrong one. Is there anyway to get the information
from the file or bypass the password? Or do I have to find out all my
information all over again?
