I think I’ll start a business selling random numbers. Who’s to say 12345 isn’t a random number?
Wait, this sounds a lot like the fortune cookie business. From: Cassidy B.

In windows file explorer, there is a view option that has a preview option. With preview selected you get the contents of a file on the right side of the screen. I was trying various combinations of my password and noticed that on one of the tries, the preview pane showed some content. After a few more tries I discovered that putting a zero in front of the alt code allowed the preview to show content. The file still would not open, but I could cut and paste from the preview pane and I got it all. Sometimes you luck out. -----Original Message----- From: Chuck McCown Sent: Wednesday, May 25, 2016 3:04 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [AFMUG] OT I screwed myself baby monkey puppy -----Original Message----- From: Chuck McCown Sent: Wednesday, May 25, 2016 2:53 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [AFMUG] OT I screwed myself I'll say.

He was telling my my super complicated password was not so secure. He cracked it pretty easy. He suggested I add an alt code. So I did. Now, neither one of us can open the file. Guess alt codes in passwords for some Office products cause big problems. Arrgh..... But it's secure now, technically.
