Forgot vi password

[alex.]

Tried all password can remembered, still cannot open. Written by me long time ago, quite important one, any suggestion, thx.

Make a brute force loop that tries any and all combinations and tries to open it until it succeeds ...

Let me get a cup of coffee.  This could take a while...

Actually there was a thread a while back where hacking the password was figured out using some web-site that does something hash related. A quick seacrh did not find it but it is there somewhere.

I think Darin cracked a VI posted by Ravens fan where the password had something to do with super bowl...

That is all I can offer.

This is the thread Ben is refering to:

Can you post the VI that you need unlocked?

Brute force may work for old VIs, but recent versions of LabVIEW only allows you to try every 100ms. So it might be long if the password has more than a few caracters...

Yes.  Unfortunately, while the VI was cracked, the part about the Super Bowl didn't come true.  Close, but not quite.

Luckly, someone remember the password.

this vi will let you overwrite the password of any vi or library file.
