    Hello..I recently upgraded AxCrypt and now 80% of my files do not recognize the two passwords that I always used. Do you think if I find the older version then decrypt all, re-install the new version and re-encrypt will work? Or are my files lost forever. Appreciate any help Thank you.

    Your files are only lost if you’ve forgotten the password.

    As long as you know the password you can decrypt them.

    AxCrypt 2 is fully backwards compatible with version 1.7.

    Hello Steve,

    As John says, if you know the password you can open them. It’s hard to say exactly what the problem is for you here, but a screenshot of the message you’re getting usually helps.

    We’ve seen some cases where after an upgrade, users try to access files that have not been accessed for a long time – and then think it’s the upgrade that causes a problem when in fact it’s just that the files were encrypted long ago with a different password (sometimes a misspelled version of the expected password).
