     HI,

    You can unlock the brd file, go to File>properties and click on unlock.

    Regards

     It's really not that hard to figure out the pw - just open the .brd in a text editor (such as notepad) and you should see the password.

    I must be slow because I can't seem to find where the password is located when opening in a text editor.  Do you know a key word I could search for?

    Thanks all!  I was able to find the location.  If you search for "lock", you can find the location.
