Well, I didn't keep any key, but I do know the password that it wanted, and when I put in an incorrect one, it complains about it.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Jul 6, 2009 at 12:38 PM, Michael B.

</div>I presume that you saved the master key (or printed it out), yes? The<br>
password it wants is quite likely the key that was derived from your password<br>
on the old system, though I could be wrong on that. I remember when I was<br>
tinkering with it, though, it gave me a huge key that was to be kept somewhere<br>
"just in case," which I would assume applies to your situation here.<br>
