Infinite Recursion

How about contacting the original author of the program and asking them for it?

DaWei, I have to say it's a little ironic you've clearly mis-spelled boodiddlychingwa. Or maybe that's some fruity American spelling.

@DeViL99: The trouble with your question is that (a) cracking password protection isn't really what a programming forum is about. We're not free black-hat butt-monkeys for any passer by. I'd hazard a guess that the majority of the people here could make their way through that password protection with a bit of tinkering, but it takes years of experience and a reasonable depth and breadth of knowledge to know what tinkering to do. Oh, I forgot, I was enumerating; and (b), you're WAY too vague.

That's like if I went to a group of hobbyist mechanics at a car show and said "How can I hotwire a car? It's made of metal." - not the kind of question they want to answer, and way too vague to answer anyway. They could probably do it, and if I was more specific they could probably tell me, but why would they?

If you know nothing about programming right now, my advice to you is to give up. If the program chokes on a runtime error because of an incorrect password it sounds to me like a wet bag of turds anyway; the recycle bin is its natural Mecca.

Alternatively, start learning about programming. You'll probably find that by the time you build up the necessary breadth and depth of knowledge to slip past little obstacles like this one, you'll have lost interest in doing so.

Oh, and PS: "Noob" or "newbie" implies someone at the very start of a long process of learning - a new devotee to the craft. I have the utmost respect for any newbie, and they are exactly the people likely to get the most help in a place like this (because even relatively inexperienced programmers can probably help with their problems, and all programmers want to lend a hand to someone in the early stages because we all know how tough it is). Sounds like you're just hunting for a quick fix - you want someone else's labour, not to begin a learning process of your own. I hope I'm mistaken but if that's the case you're not a newbie, just some asshole looking for a chump.
