    I do upgrading my laptop from XP to W7 and want to move my files. Problem is that some of them were encrypted by WinXP manager (Yamicsoft) in 2010, and I lost/forgot password. Is there any way to recover files (now they even not transferable by Windows Easy transfer or Yamicsoft manager.

    Any help, please.

    Hi Sadly of you have a password for secure files then you need to know said password again as most passworded files will not open unless you know the original password.

    You could try emailing Yamicsoft and see if they can help.

    They said the same: give me a password and they will open it...

    In other words, the software works as expected. You encrypted your data and protected it with a password, and nobody (not even the software makers) can open it without your password.

    true in one way, in another ... if I'd make an encryptor, should I be expected to be able to decrypt it. I guess they do not like to do it just for some legal issues. And that is why community might help. I am not expecting anyone will believe me that it is my computer and my files (yes, and my mistake/stupidity too :) - there are too many bad guys around to trust someone on internet..
