Quicken Password Crack

Quicken is fairly easy to crack by hand. Start up a dummy account which is not password protected, and start it up in a new subdirectory. Exit Quicken and copy the files that it created for later comparison. Then restart Quicken, enter the dummy account and put a password on it. Once you leave Quicken, you can use any number of file comparison utilities to compare the saved files to the current files and thereby find out where the password is saved.

The last time I did that, I found that the password free account simply had zeroes in the password position. Removing the password from a protected set of files was simple (use Norton or even debug).
