Recovering FileMaker Passwords

For those who don’t know, Filemaker offers password and file recovery services in case you ever need to repair a version 7 or 8 file.  But recently, I learned of a tool careof Passware.com and LostPassword.com, called FileMaker Key. The tool resets passwords to any FileMaker file, though version 8, to an 8-character string.  It is fortunately limited to databases that have not had the master password removed through the FileMaker Advanced developer utility.  For those who are up a creek without a paddle, this may be helpful.

Happy 4th of July to those in the US!
