Hello Jonathan,

Thanks for the explanation/consolation. However, I did find an
previously unseen hobbes.txt file in the FTBrowser directory.

If I understand it correctly I should prefix the password with
the word "PASS" (without quotes). Also the text suggests to begin
the password with a hyphen as a cure for other difficulties.

Have a nice day,

Holger
