Check this. I use it, because it's much quicker. If you wish to "read" the contents of the .regfile, simply right-click on it, and choose, "Edit." Just DO NOT edit the file.
After you're satisfied it is safe, double-click on it. Now, right-click on a folder you don't have access to and choose, "Take Ownership."

SOURCE: Does anyone know how to open Folder Lock after you've lost or forgot your password?
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.
Testimonial: "Sorry, the files encrypted in Folder Lock are mine, not somebody else. I forgot the password and I am the only one who wants to find out how to recover my files, then I will give Folder Lock the flick, because it's not really a user friendly software anyway. if it was, the company newsoftwares.net would have provided each registered user with a special key to reopen Folder Lock in case the password is accidentally forgotten. I regret making a mistake and also regret not storing the password in a safe place. But, as you all know, there is no point crying over spilled milk, I want a solution, not a funeral. Thanks for understanding. Michael"
