Not exactly. If the key is *forgotten*, the data is lost forever. If you know the key and input it, the key is written back into the registry. -- Mark Stapleton ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) IBM Certified Advanced Deployment Professional Tivoli Storage Management Solutions 2005 IBM Certified Advanced Technical Expert (CATE) AIX Office 262.521.5627
