A .bak file is from Money 1, 2 or 3. You may want to try a password cracker
program, or it could just be that the file is corrupted.

A password request can mean that you are trying to read a newer file with an
older version of Money. As you say a M2003 file cant be read by M2000.

Does anybody know what version this file is?

I had to reload my PC from scratch and when I tried to
restore my msmoney3.bak file it asked for my password,
but won't accept it. I KNOW that I have the correct
password. Here's another item I noticed - when I create
a test file in the MS Money version I have (2000) - it
saves it as a MSMoney2 file and the task bar reflects it
as MSMoney2 as well. COuld it be that I have a deluxe
version or MSMoney 2003 and just don't remember doing it -
my husband and I share this progrgam - but he can't
remember upgrading it. The version is the issue - I think

Help!
