Good people,

Back when I got my first Mac the first thing I developed was a Hypercard
stack. I just recently found a copy of it on an ancient, 800K floppy disk
and, fortunately, was able to extract it onto my current hard drive by using
that original Mac to copy it over to a HD floppy and then using a USB floppy
disk reader to move it to my current machine's hard drive.

Unfortunately, I locked the stack from within Hypercard so I can't get into
it to extract or modify the code. Do any of you know how to hack the stack
to eliminate the lock/password? If not I'm faced with extracting the code
with BB Edit and rewriting the entire thing.

Any help or advice will be enormously appreciated.
