thanks for the info, however, i was googling and found a simple tool to reset the password and it worked like a charm. Called "ResetVSSPassword"

I was really frustrated, trying to think of all passwords i would have used and nothing worked.

Anyway, here's a good summary of the options you have (http://www.c6software.com/Articles/sourcesafepassword.aspx):
>
>1. create a new database and use the new account file
>2. Login as a Windows user named Admin and run VSS Explorer as this user
>3. Use any of the tools that crack the password with dictionary or brute force attacks
>4. hack the accounts file (that's what I ended up doing ad I didn't knew about 2.)
