I can't remember if I changed them or not. I was setting
up encrypted and setting up a guest at the same time.
Neither of which have a password on them. I have also
tried decrypting them under all the users, even the user
name that shows who encrypted the file. Lets say maybe
the password is the issue in this case, is there a way to
get around that?
