Every .zip-file on the recovery CD is protected with password. Is it anybody
who know the password? Or have a goo idee, how to get the compressed files.

I'm not so good in English! Sorry!

Please, help me!

<B>Hi Vidar


The password on newer Aptivas is xwbdbgmlbu. Magic is the password on older
models.
Thanks, Ben

I believe IBM uses the password magic.

Just want to add some info to this for future users. I have an IBM Aptiva 2144-M51. The password for the zipped files on the recovery cd was "magic". If anyone one happens to need this cd you can email me at keit...@hotmail.com.
