Forgot Password - Need Access to Money File

Does anyone know how to open a money file if the password
has been misplaced? Was using Passport, but when
attempting to open the file, error messsage says my
passport password does not match password on money file.
Tried to open with previous passport, but no go.
Microsoft says they cannot open for legal reasons but
third party consultants can support. Anyone know one?

Have you not opened your file for about a month or six weeks? Did it report
this problem the last time you opened it? (I don't remember the exact
date--but Microsoft CREATED THIS PROBLEM for Money users who Passport
authenticate their files for a short window of time, two days or so, about a
month or six weeks ago. If you opened your file in this two day period, this
could well be your problem.)

Can you use your Passport elsewhere? Can you login got Passport member
services? Have you looked into the Passport password recovery service?

To amplify on one point: Passport passwords are recoverable by Passport IF
you remember the answers to the recovery questions. (You know, the "mother's
maiden name" drill.) See http://umpmfaq.info/faqdb.php?q=26. Go to
http://www.passport.net, click on Member Services and click on I forgot my
password.

This will NOT solve the first case I described. (The date in question was
right about the first week of August.) If you think that's your case, see
