I recently had an external fat32 hd fail on me and i need to recover the files off that. Also, my primary computer, a 12" powerbook decided to start asking me for a password when I didn't even have one, so the files on that computer are off limits for me, unless i can figure out this mysterious password. I am aware that you can put in the Mac OS CD and be able to bypass or reset the password but that isn't an option for me because my CD drive doesn't work. The only resources I have to get the files back are a windows computer at my parents house and I would still need a FREE program to recover the files off my external. I could also do the same by pulling my HD out of my power book, putting it in an external enclosure and hooking it up to the windows computer, provided this FREE program someone could recomend supports HFS/HFS+. Any help people here could give me on my problem would be much appreciated.
