MS Money bacdkup issue

That implies that the version you have installed after reformatting is
earlier than the one that created the data file you are trying to restore.
This typically happens with M2005 where a large update shortly after release
was needed and this produced a different format data file. Navigate to the
sample.mny file, double click on it and Money should then start and download
the update.

If it's not M2005 all bets are off! :-)

I do not respond to any emails that I have not specifically asked for.

I just restored a backup on mine, and used my regular login ID, which worked.

I backed up MS Money before I refromatted my HD. I installed Money after
reformatting an am trying to restore with the backup. It is asking me for a
password before it will do the restore. I don't have a record of ever
creating one and I am usually pretty good about keeping track of that stuff.
Futhermore, it isn't letting me continue when I try to use the obvious
passwords that I almost always use on things like this. I am not even sure
how to ask Microsoft to reset the password.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
