Filemaker 5 database to Filemaker 7 database - lost password
Hello,
I have a filemaker 5 databse with a know password that is working fine.
We have bought Filemaker 10 and now we try to open this database.
FM10 convert it to FP7 format and all seems well.
The only problem is that when opening this new converted databse, it ask for password and we can not find the right!?
I have googled for a while and not find anything working.
I have try the "Admin" user with blank password/old password
I have also try the Guest account...
No one is working.
So I decided to remove the password from my databse FP5 with FM6 but it don't want to let me put a blank password, so I have to let a password active...
Is anyone have a solution?
Thanks
