A friend recently lost a passsword to a FileMaker database. Does
anyone know of any way of recovering from this situation (I think it's
a password protecting the structure of the database, which she wants
to change)? Any utilities, like the one that removes Excel passwords
(though badly)? Other hints?

Claris technical support was rude to her on the phone. "You forgot
it, too bad."

thanks .... -Adam
