Hi Abraham,

Did you manage to find the password eventually? I've read that others hadn't given it to you because they assumed the password can be easily found in the ascii codes of the binary file. That's not true on all environments.

If you're still stuck, have a look at the following page: http://www.freelists.org/archives/oracle-l/04-2004/msg01068.html

Regards,
Jerome
