Hello,
a notes user has lost his notebook and we didnt have the backup .id file. So i deleted the user from person document, created a new user with new id file and make it owner of user’s mail nsf.
But the user told us that he cant open “sent” mails anymore. The message says “you cannot access portions of this document because its encrypted and was not intended for you or you dont have the ecryption key.”
I 've found the old id file from very old backups but the user doesnt remember the first password.
Now, i’ve nsf file and old id file without password. What can i do to make the sent mails to be read? I need your help.
Regards
(* i’ve upgraded from domino 6.5 to 8.5)
Subject: Sorry - there’s no way to “break” Notes encryption
You need the original ID and Password. Encryption would be worthless if there were ways to get around it.

Graham,
i found the original id file, but the user cannot remember the password.
Subject: The ID file by itself is of no help
You need the password to get to the private key.
Subject: Password cracking tool?
Subject: ID recovery information
Did you set the ID recovery information? If so, then you should be able to reset the password on the ID file.
Subject: i dont know what id recovery set is
So i think i didnt do it before, can i do it now and how?
Subject: sorry, it’s impossible to add recovery info in id without openning it
you need to forse user to remeber his passwordpassword recovery is very simple feature to set
just look in help for it
