    Lost Recover
AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a user who has forgotten the password for an encrypted file created with Winace, which has a .xef file extension. They seek assistance in recovering the password or accessing the files. A suggestion is made to use "Advanced Archive Password Recovery" for password recovery, but the user reports that the program does not recognize the .xef extension. It is noted that Winace typically creates archives with a .ace extension, and renaming the file to .ace is recommended. However, the user has already attempted renaming without success, indicating a need for alternative solutions or programs that can handle the .xef format.

Yeah, so I am not too smart as I encrypted a file in Winace and now have forgotten the password for it.

Are there any programs out there to get the pass or get through it, or any other way in which to access the files now that I forgot my password?

Thanks

Well it created ace extension originally, but then when it was encrypted it changed to .xef.

I already tried to just rename it, but it didnt work any better with that program...:confused:
 
This week, I saw a documentary done by the French called Les sacrifiés de l'IA, which was presented by a Canadian show Enquête. If you understand French I recommend it. Very eye-opening. I found a similar documentary in English called The Human Cost of AI: Data workers in the Global South. There is also an interview with Milagros Miceli (appearing in both documentaries) on Youtube: I also found a powerpoint presentation by the economist Uma Rani (appearing in the French documentary), AI...
