    The other day I tried to retrieve a document I have from about 2-3 years 
ago.  Being security minded I had password protected it.  Of course by now you 
know where this is leading, I can't remember the password!  This would not be 
so bad if it was one document, but I checked all of my documents from that 
time frame (about 50 of them) and they all were also locked.  I have an old 
program called TRYALL4.EXE which can guess passwords up to 4 characters long.  
Of course, mine were longer.  I have tried every password I can remember with 
no luck at all.  Is there any program which can help me?  If it could just 
give me the first few letters of the password I could most likely identify it.
Has anyone else had this problem? If so what did you do?  Can anyone help? 
Thanks.

Bob Hutchinson
