Protected file password cracking
My dad passed in 2023. He had a locked file of passwords to everything, we found the password at the time. Went to open it back up recently and the old password does not work. The only people with access is me and my mom, she swears she didn’t change it (she can barely work an iPhone) and I didn’t change it. We cannot get into this file and I have tried everything I can think of including the old password. I know there isn’t an easy way into this file except brute force, what does that look like? Where can I find someone to get into this file?
My mom is the one who needs in, so she has no reason to not want to get in before someone suggests that.
