Hi,
The password protection in LV is just a check (like in the old WP, the
program checks if the code is correct, but the data is not encripted). All
the information is in the VI, unencripted. So a special (or cracked) version
of LV would be able to open the VI's. Removing the password is difficult,
because even 'no password' has a code that is different for every VI.
Saving it without diagrams removes the 'source' code. This is impossible to
regenerate the code, and even to upgrade to newer LV versions. It is however
possible to get information (string constants, dll functions, and some other
data) from the VI.
Regards,
Wiebe.
