Hi
I have a client that is using a Visual Fox Pro Application. The person who was using the application quit. He was the only one with the password to get into the application. What is the common way to break a password in a visual fox pro application. Can anyone help????

I had this problem once. In Access97, maybe it could work in foxpro too.

Here is what i did.

I created an empty database. copied it to a temp folder.
Recreated the same empty database but this one with a password.

I opened both in an Hexviewer and compared the bytes that were changed.

I reset the bytes on the one with the password to the same bytes as the one without the password and it work.

So I took the users database opened it in the hex editor and changed the bytes I changed In my test and Voil?. Database without the password.

I hope this will help.
