Hi My Friend Enigma

I have a question .
Think I protect an Exe file with Start up password & I allow user to change it when He wants.
Here is the question . Where is the password saved ?
For Example Think User changes the Exe password on his own PC . Now Can He use the Exe on another PC with changed password ?
Or Will changed Password stay for ever ?

I'm waiting for your respond , my friend .
Best Regards

Majid, I'm not sure I should reply on your question, because it is safety issue :)

Anyway, I give you a semi reply. Password is never saved, there is saved a hash of the password, the one place where it is saved is registry. Really, if you want better security, I do not advise to use Allow Change password feature, because this way we have to store hash of password somewhere. But if you do not use this feature, password/hash is never saved.

If you move program to another PC, it will ask for initial password, of course.
