SUMMARY
The following is our policy about assisting customers with their forgotten passwords for their Microsoft Money files:

Microsoft cannot help users in opening files that have been protected with a password. There are legal risks associated with doing this. We do not have the resources available to thoroughly investigate such requests to guarantee that there are no misrepresentations nor disputes of ownership of files. Software and consultants are available to help users to legitimately regain access to files they have protected with a password.



MORE INFORMATION
There are third-party software programs that can help users regain access to password-protected files for some programs.
