Hi,

There is no such thing as a back door to retrieve a password. What you must
do is get a password cracking program. Keep in mind, anything you password
protect can also be opened with a password cracking program by anybody else.

Of course this should get you to thinking - how does anyone know who a file
belongs to here on the internet? So when they are helping someone crack into
a file, they may be helping third party retrieve social security numbers,
credit card numbers, or other personal information from stolen government or
business computers. Who knows?
