Windows 10: Migrate Microsoft Money Asks for Password

I am trying to migrate data from Microsoft Money 2004 by restoring a backup file and a message asks for a password. the password i use is not recognized. I have seen other posts of this problem and answers say something like I need the "program" password, or need to switch the system password to the owner password. I only know and see one password. Does anybody know a solution to this problem?

Microsoft Money with Windows 10

Thanks. I may have to do that or migrate to Quicken. I have 18 years of good data.

I asked a Microsoft consultant I am working with on a Microsoft Dynamics AX implementation. He loved Money, also, but eventually he migrated to Quicken. I asked if the migration tool worked and he indicated it was successful plus he enjoys the mobile app
capabilities.

I'm gonna try a some other suggestions I recently received, too. Thanks for your reply!

Password for Microsoft Money

Try to find the latest version released for Australia. For the UK, the latest version relased was MS Money 2005 not the Sunset version. See here https://social.microsoft.com/Forums/...rs?forum=money

Microsoft Money and Windows 10

I did exactly everything suggested here in this thread, did a clean install of Money Plus after windows 10 was installed, tried to open up my backup money file from the flash drive, asked me again for a password, unable to open my Money files since I have no clue what the password is/was.
