i didn't set a password for my backup file
Hello guys...
i just backup my family photos (mostly my children) for the last 8 years. a week after i reinstalled my windows due to BIOS update.
Anyhow after trying to recover these files the system asking for a password ??? while in the first i DIDN"T put such. trying my two regular passwords didn’t help... (of course)
i seems that something is corrupted or i don't know what is wrong...
Thanks in advance

Tal,
Does the archive validate normally?
Did you try to recover from the recovery CD?
Another thing to try is to:
- create a system backup,
- install the trial of ATI 2011,
- use it to create a new recovery CD,
- try with that recovery CD

Hello Pat
I'm not sure about the validation - if it is done by default then the answer will be yes.
i tried to point this archive while using the recovery disk I’ve created in advance - it was done before the machine has booted from the HDD. the same scenario it is keeping and asking for a password.
As for what you have suggested, what is the logic behind that? why the creation of a new recovery CD may help?
Maybe i have a wrong interpretation for what is the recovery CD... my meaning is for the console app which is being loaded while restarting the machine.
Thanks, Tal.

Here is the logic:
- if there is a password and you don't know it, you are toast. There is nothing you can do,
- if the password request is linked to some other image issue, ie the image is corrupted, and you cannot mount the image then:
* we need to get windows out of the picture. Using the recovery CD does that better than the pre-boot, because you can get the latest bootable media for your version, wherease the pre-boot environment is linked to the version you have installed,
* if there is an image issue linked to version of image versus version of recovery environment, using the latest version might solve it since there is alwasy backward compatibility
