That trick doesn't work anymore, they took that out. I don't know exactly up
to what version this will work. Try a search on mibuso and I'm sure you will
find it.

By the way, this is not a free service, it comes with a price.

Yes, the reason is that I haven't seen any explanation of why this solution
is needed. I can hardly see any legal usage of the application and I really
don't wish to assist anyone that wishes to break into something he/she
clearly isn't supposed to have access to or even impersonate someone. There
might be a very good reason for wanting this tool; I just haven't seen it
yet.

I have seen your description of NPART - I understand your reasoning but I
don't share it. I think a lot of companies treat their fbk-files a lot more
careless than they should because they don't know what "evil" people can do
with it. Yet another reason for using Hotcopy instead of the old-style
backup.

We have a solution where the Database Authentication is enhanced with
requirements for length and complexity of entered password and forced
password expiry. This is a better way to get a good password discipline in
my opinion. And no. I can't share that either :-( A collage of mine made it,
and it is mixed into numerous other changes in a big solution.
