I accidentally locked my TNM

Argh! I accidentally locked my TNM, and I have no idea what the password is. I don't even know how I did it, but suddenly, my TNM is locked. I guess I just went a little to fast with the keyboard when running it, accidentally getting myself into the Options menu and locking it. Does anyone know how I can unlock it? I mean, maybe there is some file I can go into and edit? Or is it possible to move all the relevant files to another installed version of TNM? I know Oliver is gone, but maybe someone else knows?

If you accidentally locked TNM in the way you described, chances are good that the password you mistakenly assigned is very short.  Thu, you could always try unlocking it by trying single and double keystroke passwords.  Other than that, I can't help you.

Well the buttons needed to enter a new password are 'O' (options), followed by 'L' (lock TNM) and 'P' (password), then enter. Those letters are close to one another on the keyboard so try one or two letter passwords consisting of them.

And if none of this works, if memory serves me correctly, uhhh... you're screwed. But wait for Oliver before going mad and deleting anything, wontcha.

It's not a big problem. Please send me your DATA folder zipped and I'll take care of it within 24 hours.

Thanks a million! I thought my detailed WWE circuit which I had run since WM XX was ruined, but thanks to you I got to run my SummerSlam card! Thanks again!

Don't worry about it. The problem is that when designing the algorithm, I didn't add a backdoor, so I had to use a brute force algorithm to get it unlocked again :)
