Amazing tool, but I'll always (unreasonably and unfairly) hate it for locking away a bunch of my data because I forgot an absurdly long password which I didn't note down anywhere. Needless to say, lesson learned.

tough lesson, but i hope you use a password manager now.

I have an old WinRAR archive which password I have forgotten. Who knows, maybe in 50 years we will be able to read the encrypted stuff.
