Recovering FileMaker Passwords
Monday, July 3rd, 2006
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!
