ACT asking for password

[katseyes]

Act is suddenly asking for a password, where I've used it almost every day and never needed, and have never set up a password. I am the one who installed this program on my own system. Could the database be corrupt. If so, what do I do?

1. What version of ACT^!
2. Is it possible that you had a password set up and had it set to "Save Password" so you had never needed to type it in?

This is ACT 2005, and I have a strict personal policy to never password anything unless absolutely unavoidable, I live in a very private environment, so I don't need to, and I avoid problems whenever possible. In this case, passwording was optional.

Could it be that the user name you're entering is not correct?

Thank you Mike for trying to find an answer. No, its not the name, because I never have to input that at start-up. But after a cold boot, the program reset itself and is working. I'm thinking it was a cross-linked sector or something that is telling me that I am overdue for a defrag. I appreciate your input.

You might also check that you regularly:
1) Compress/Reindex your database
2) Backup
