MMeX V 1.8.1. Linux Mint 21
Updated to this version several weeks ago as Flatpak from LM Money Manager.
An incorrect password given for an encrypted file.

I have been using MMeX for several years using the same password without problems.
I last used MMeX a few days ago (8/12/2024) and since then I have not changed anything on my system.
I have tried the .bak file (changing the suffix to .emb) without success.

What can I do now?

Maybe see that : viewtopic.php?t=11228 or viewtopic.php?t=11223,
and that https://github.com/moneymanagerex/money ... ssues/6971

Thanks,
much of this is too complicated for me. I know nothing about mySQL, and as a user I shouldn't have to get into it.

Anyway I tried following the suggestion about reverting to 1.8.0 but cannot find how to do this in Linux.
Instead, by switching off Defender, I installed 1.8.0 on a Windows machine. It opened my .emb file and I saved it as an .mmb file.
This opened OK on 1.8.1 on my Linux machine, but saving it as an .emb file gave me:
SQL logic error[1]: Rekeying failed. Pagesize cannot be changed for an encrypted database.

Apparently I must change the page size but that is probably beyond my knowledge.

Is there any possibility that there will be a new version to correct this problem any time soon?

The correction is planned for version 1.9.0.
Please wait with the encryption until this version is available.

Great! Thank you.

Good morning

even with 1.9 i have the same problem "rekeying failed : pagesize cannot be change for an encrypted database" and
i cannot save the database with password because when i try to open it again it shows "wrong password"

how can i fix it?

It would help us a lot if you could also tell us which operating system and which MMEX version (desktop / portable) you are working with.

By the way: it is not advisable to attach yourself to a closed thread.

You will probably find more information about your problem here: https://github.com/moneymanagerex/money ... ssues/6971

If you cannot solve the problem yourself, you can send the .mmb / .emb (with PW) to info()mmex.ch and I will take care of it for you.
Of course I guarantee the confidentiality of your data.
