DVB - Forgot Password

[Anonymous]

HI All,

I forgot the password of one of my DVB file. Any solutions please? I searched on the web, didn't get hold of anything effective, to crack the password.

Hi, This NG is not about password cracking and even if such a method exists, it would be unlikely that anybody here would appreciate it being publicised. In future make your own provisions to recover code so that this problem does not eventuate. -- Laurie Comerford CADApps www.cadapps.com.au "rameshg" wrote in message news:22051659.1080193410999.JavaMail.jive@jiveforum1.autodesk.com... > HI All, > > I forgot the password of one of my DVB file.

Relax. If someone was interested in protecting their code, they wouldn't put it in DVB in the first place. Do a google for "vbakey", you should find the c source and compiled exe. Rename your DVB to BAS, run the exe in DOS mode to view the password, then remove it via the VBA IDE.

Thanks for your reply. I searched for vbakey and could get only a demo which can reveal only 2 letter passwords. Can u help me by sending a link??

Using vb instead of vba, you can compile it to an AcitveX dll. Then you can reference it and call it from vba so that it is still running in-process. -- ---- Ed ---- "RaghuMN" wrote in message news:11748311.1080791494719.JavaMail.jive@jiveforum1.autodesk.com... > Spammer, could you tell me, the safer way to protect a dvb? > > Thanks, > MNRaghu

You can also call it from visual lisp. For some it's the best of both worlds: Code what makes sense in lisp, code what makes sense in vb / delphi / whatever. Heat, serve, enjoy.

Many Thanks, Spider!! It is giving a memory allocation error, says 'memory could not be written'. It works for another one, for which I know the password. I have tried for one more file for which it gives the password as some 'junk' characters, whereas the password contains only normal chars. Could u help??

Hi, Spammer, I can't find the C source file of "vbakey" that you said. Can you send me a copy? Thanks !!!

No worries Anne, Obviously you are picking them up fairly quickly because I have only seen the requests for workarounds popping up on the web side lately.

Regards - Nathan

Having said that I can still see a workaround posted by Spammer on the webside.

Hai ,
Have you managed to unprotect this file ?

Thanks

rameshg : send me the .dvb and I will recover the source.

I WILL however, post the source code here on the NG

Fair?

[Anonymous]

Hi rocheey,

And if this program is a commercial program with reliance on non-public
disclosure of its code, what will you do then?

It's far better for you to retract this offer and leave the OP to stew
in his own juice.

Regards,


Laurie Comerford

>>And if this program is a commercial program with reliance on non-public

Point taken. Besides, an even better way to protect code is to have the guy who worked before me, rewrite the code for him.

Spaghetti functions in spaghetti modules. Obfuscation at its best 😕
