I hear you, I myself have about 3-4 years of records in
my Money file and needless to say I'd hate to start over!!

I have been searching all over the WWW for software to
crack the password since I thought I screwed up
something. I was about to buy some software that crack's
the password's, but good thing I checked here first!!

Unfortunately i have to say that I am glad I am not the
only one.... Hopefully with all of us sending requests to
Microsoft, this will be resolved soon.. I also sent a
message via the " Microsoft Online Assisted Support.

I hope my file is not compromised after this is fixed,
because I will be really pissed.. and would end up
throwing away about 2 years of detailed records..
