Re: Steganos Encrypted Safe NOT so safe

In response to frankrizzo604?s comment, Steganos would like to dispel the rumor 
that its Steganos Safe encryption software is easily cracked. Steganos Safe 
enables users to create any number of secure virtual drives in which data is 
safely stored and encrypted. However frankrizzo604 goes through several steps 
?teaching? users how to open others? encrypted files. In his last step, he 
claims Steganos will ?PUNISH you by resetting your encrypted drives passwords 
to "123" until you buy a registered copy?, implying that the password feature 
can be circumvented thus opening anyone?s safe. He conveniently left out that 
before he was able to reset the password to "123", he had to enter his original 
password to open the safe. Then, he saw this message box:

It is absolutely not possible to open any Steganos Encrypted File without 
having the original password. The Steganos support and development team 
reconstructed the process he described. It is not possible to open a Safe 
WITHOUT the original password. In the 2007 generation of Steganos products, 
Steganos decided to set the Safe attributes to write protect. Steganos would 
like its user to rest assured that their files are in fact still encrypted and 
safe from hackers.
