Forgot my authentication key, is there a way to gain access to my audio files without it... I don't even recall receiving a key?

Keys to what a paid key to an audio program?? If you didn't get an email immediately you might want them check the authenticity of the site you bought the pro keys from... You also might want to check your credit card/debit card ballence you might of just got nipped and need to cancel

The problem with this type of thing is that there are liability issues. How does anyone know that you are the owner of the files being stored on that drive? Nobody with any conscience will help you circumvent security on a digital system.. It's that simple. First of all, it's illegal. If I helped you and you gained access to someone else's files, I'd be liable. They likely aren't retrievable anyway. Most modern encryption schemes are so good that it's impossible to reverse them without the key. If they truly are your files and you lost the password...YOU LOST THE FILES. It's your responsibility. Best practice for things like this is to write the password down on a piece of paper and put it in a secure location. Preferably a safe. If you did not do that, and relied on your brain to store that stuff, best you can do is go see a hypnotist to try and remember. Sorry.. I know it' not what you wanted to hear, but it's the truth. Hope you remember.

To open a locked memory card, select Options > Unlock memory card. Enter the password.
If you cannot recall the password to unlock a locked
memory card, you may reformat the card, in which case
the card is unlocked and password removed.
Formatting a memory card destroys all data stored on
the card.

Encryption
Select Menu > Tools > Encryption.
Encrypt your device or memory card to prevent
outsiders from accessing your important information.

Encrypt device memory or memory card

To encrypt the device memory,

select phone memory.
To encrypt the memory card, select memory card from the following:

Encrypt without saving key

• memory card without saving the encryption key. If
you select this option, you cannot use the memory
card in other devices, and if you restore factory
settings, you cannot decrypt the memory card.
Encrypt and save key

• and save the key manually in the default folder. For
security, store the key to a safe place outside the
device. For example, you can send the key to your
computer. Enter a pass phrase for the key and a
name for the key file. The pass phrase should be long
and complex.

Encrypt with restored key - Encrypt the memory
• card with a key you have received. Select the key file,
and enter the pass phrase

If you don't know the account then you will need to factory reset the tablet. For most tablets you will need to power off the tablet completely. Power on the tablet and immediately press and hold power + vol down until you get a menu. Select Factory reset.

Both items are needed to open the safe. If the dial has not changed from the final number, then it is possible for the key to open the safe. Contacting Sentry will provide a solution:

If you are unable to recall your password, you'll have to perform a hard reset. Before doing this, you might want to try using the default password: "admin" (without the quotes). Keep in mind that this will only work if you have not changed the password.

If you can't access the setup page of the router, the hard reset is going to be the only way in. You will gain access to the setup page, but all the customized settings (if any) will be cleared and set to the factory default. If you can't recall the SSID, encryption keys, and other wireless security related variables, you'll have to update the wireless devices that connect to the Linksys router wirelessly to reflect the new settings that you put in.

The hard reset is a button on the back - near the antenna on most Linksys routers. It is recessed in the case to prevent accidental activation. You'll need a pen or pencil to press and hold it in for about 30 seconds, then release. The router will reboot, and you should be able to log in to it and change settings as desired.

Please rate my reply - thanks & good luck!

Nothing you can do without the key, Sorry to say but it's gone, I spoke to Panasonic but no help, basically if its gone its gone, I gave up using mine, I use my iPhone now instead. I lost important stuff too

If you plan to have a wireless network, you should set it up so that only people you choose can access it. Here are a few options for wireless network security.

Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP)
WEP is a widely used network security method. When you enable WEP, you set up a network security key. This key encrypts the information that one computer sends to another computer across your network. The receiving computer needs the key to decode the information so that it's difficult for someone on another computer to get onto your network and access files without your permission.

Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA)
WPA was created to improve the security of WEP. Like WEP, WPA encrypts information, but it also checks to make sure that the network security key has not been modified. WPA also authenticates users to help ensure that only authorized people can access the network. If your networking hardware works with both WEP and WPA security, we recommend that you use WPA.

There are two types of WPA authentication: WPA and WPA2. WPA is designed to work with all wireless network adapters, but it might not work with older routers or access points. WPA2 is more secure than WPA, but it will not work with some older network adapters. WPA is designed to be used with an 802.1X authentication server, which distributes different keys to each user. This is referred to as WPA-Enterprise or WPA2-Enterprise. It can also be used in a pre-shared key (PSK) mode, where every user is given the same passphrase. This is referred to as WPA-Personal or WPA2-Personal.

802.1X authentication
802.1X authentication can help enhance security for 802.11 wireless networks and wired Ethernet networks. 802.1X uses an authentication server to validate users and provide network access. On wireless networks, 802.1X can work with Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) or Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) keys. This type of authentication is typically used when connecting to a workplace network.

IF THIS ALL DOSEN'T WORK TRY THE FOLLOWING:

Wireless network security recommendations
If you have a wireless network, there are some additional security precautions that you should take.

Use a network security key
If you have a wireless network, you should set up a network security key, which turns on encryption. With encryption, people can't connect to your network without the security key. Also, any information that is sent across your network is encrypted so that only computers that have the key to decrypt the information can read it. This can help avert attempts to access your network and files without your permission. Common wireless network encryption methods are Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) and Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) and WPA-2.

Change the default administrator name and password on your router or access point
If you have a router or access point, you probably used a default name and password to set up the equipment. Most manufacturers use the same default name and password for all of their equipment, which someone could use to access your router or access point without you knowing it. To avoid that risk, change the default administrator user name and password for your router. Check the information that came with your device for instructions about how to change the name and password.

Change the default SSID
Routers and access points use a wireless network name called a service set identifier (SSID). Most manufacturers use the same SSID for all of their routers and access points. We recommend that you change the default SSID to keep your wireless network from overlapping with other wireless networks that might be using the default SSID. It makes it easier for you to identify which wireless network is yours, if there is more than one nearby, because the SSID is typically shown in the list of available networks. Check the information that came with your device for instructions about how to change the default SSID.

Position your router or access point carefully
Wireless signals can transmit a few hundred feet, so the signal from your network could be broadcast outside of your home. You can help limit the area that your wireless signal reaches by positioning your router or access point close to the center of your home rather than near an outside wall or window.

If i recal correctly, you need to access the menu (go to standby, then press and hold control key) and navigate to the aux in setting and turn it on, or else it does not even show as a source option.
