The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: A backup of a password protected file can be retrieved and read in WordPerfect without the user knowing the password. Solutions: The backup file had a .BK! extension. It was created by an Original Backup. If Original Backup is turned on and a password is put on the file before the document is saved, the first time the backup file is saved it will not be encrypted. The same is true with Timed Backup. If the customer reboots the computer after a file was saved with a password but before Timed Backup occurred with the password, the backup file will not be password protected.
