Most likely FileMaker created a default password for the files as it does with any new file. The user name is &quot;Admin&quot;, the password is blank.<br />
<br />
Once you have the files open go to Manage Security and add whatever user accounts, passwords and privilege sets that you might need.

User has Filemaker Pro 6 Files that they opened with FileMaker Pro 8 and converted to latest format. &nbsp;The problem is that these new files now ask for a user name and password, whereas before they only asked for a password for access.<br />
<br />
What is the 'trick' for opening these upgraded files?<br />
<br />
Thanks

FileMaker Pro is a cross-platform relational database application that integrates a database engine with a graphical user interface (GUI) and security features, allowing users to modify the database by dragging new elements into layouts, screens, or forms. FileMaker evolved from a DOS application, but since 1992 has been available for Microsoft Windows and Mac OS, and can be used in a cross-platform environment.
