This FAQ assumes that you know your password and typed it correctly! The most likely cause for this problem is that you opened the encrypted file with Pocket Word or Pocket Excel. Never do this! Opening and closing an encrypted file will cause Pocket Word or Pocket Excel that the file will be saved (converted) even you haven’t changed the file. If you accidentally opened an encrypted file do a soft-reset in order to avoid that the file will be saved (destroyed). If the encrypted file was saved (destroyed) CCrryyppttoo will only give you the option to encrypt the file because it was converted to Pocket Word or Pocket Excel file format.
