Have you tried just hitting OK (a blank password)? Have you written
SecureZip support and asked them how to get past that? There should never be
a password on an archive that *you* create directly, but perhaps there is
something in the Legacy backup creation process that SecureZip is
interpreting wrong.

Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Backups Password Protected
Ever since I installed the free program Secure Zip, (on desktop which
normally generates my multimedia backups), the extraction on laptop
proceeds part way then asks for a password for 10% of my files. Since
I don't know the password I skip those and then drag and drop from the
zip file to the correct directory (no password required for this).
For the zipped Family file I use File Restore as specified with no
problems.

The files were created when closing Legacy and a dialogue asks if you
want to backup family file (I don't have any multimedia files). In the
past it created a zipped folder containing the main family file and 3
others (focus groups etc). I have been able to right click on these
folders and select Extract All to gain access to all of the files. Now
I get the message that each file is password protected and a request
for a password. I have been able to move these files between PCs
without issue in the past .
Yes this occurs even when I try it on the same pc that created it or
another. When I right click on the zipped file I get - open - search -
browse with AVI codec - explore-extract all etc.

Hi Al,
I assume you are talking about extracting multimedia files that Legacy
created using File / Backup multimedia files.
If you are talking about a backup family file you don't normally
extract it that way.
Are you extracting on the same machine that created it?
When you right click on a ziped multimedia file what are the first 3
items on the menu?

I have been backing up my files at the end of every day and retained
numerous versions. I tried to extract one of the zipped folders and
was told that it was password protected. I can't extract it.
This seemed to have happened with a number of backups over the last
few weeks. I've never changed anything and can get at the files by
double clicking the zip folder and dragging the family file out. (what
kind of password protection is this?!)
I'm using windows XP and Legacy 6 Deluxe - any ideas as to why this is
happening?
Thanks
