Locked out of password protected section Oldbat 6/5/2007 12:17:00 PM Does anyone else have a problem with One-note password-protection locking them out? The first time it happened, I'd only been using the package a couple of days and, although I'm not the scatty type who forgets passwords, I was just about prepared to accept that I had done something wrong - made a typo twice when setting the password or similar. I got all the information back together and entered it into a new section which I protected with a different password. To be safe, I carefully wrote down the new password in TWO different places. All went well for three months; I happily accessed and updated my data until yesterday. Now, despite careful checking against my written record, it won't recognise my password! And, yes, I've checked that the caps lock isn't on .... So, does anyone else have any experience of being spontaneously locked out of their own data and does anyone have any advice as to how to overcome this problem? I really need to get to that information so any help would be much appreciated.

RE: Locked out of password protected section Oldbat 6/5/2007 5:22:01 PM I'm replying to my own message, a bit red-faced. I've now resolved this and it was all down to a sticking key on my keyboard which I only discovered when trying to type something else. As the charactr on the sticking key wasn't registering, it looked like an invalid password to One-note. Oops!
