OneNote 2007 Beta 2 Password Problem

[Amos Soma]

I installed the OneNote2007 Beta 2. It converted my existing OneNote 2003
notebook. One of my sections in 2003 was password protected. When I attempt
to open the section in 2007, I get prompted for a password, but it doesn't
recognize the password. I am entering it correctly. Is this a known issue.
Anything I can do about it?

Silly question the answer to which has stumped me at times in the past -
you're sure you have the correct password?

Can you still open up the file (or a backup of the file) under ON2003
with the same PW?

If you can unlock and read the file in ON2003, I'd remove the PW
protection from the file in ON2003 and copy the section (*.ONE) file to
the new ON2007 Notebook and let ON2007 convert it, and the reapply the PW
protection from ON2007.
