Hello all.

A friend of mine got ****ed off with me and made it so that OE now
needs a password but I don't know what it is and he won't tell me. I
also don't know how to change it (I looked in a help file on another
machine but it didn't say). Any help would be appreciated.


File a case in conciliation court (aka small claims court) for the loss
of your data and also the time for that loss and for your hours in
attempting to retrieve that data. Or consider a civil case for
destruction of your property. You can get an account with PrePaid Legal
for about $16/mo (I don't know if there is a signup fee) whereupon you
could call them to get them to have a lawyer call your "friend" to give
them notice that you will be filing charges or losses against them. The
call from a lawyer stipulating that they will be issuing legal filings
against them will probably scare them enough to get them to give you the
password.

You litigious American, you :-)

Reminds me of a film a few years ago starring, I think, Hulk Hogan. Hulk
punches some big biker guy. The biker's pal says "Go on, man! Kick his
ass!". Biker says "Hell no man! This is the nineties! I'm gonna sue his
ass!"
