Actually it was just some php and mysql and various other books I got off of zillr.org. most of the books don't need a password, but some of them did. It's probably not worth the trouble, except like Dino said, "just ask for the password." At first, I thought the 7-z program was asking me for the password. I didn't realize that it was the book file that had a password.
