You need to use one of two externals that strip off the password 
entirely. One is called "Deprotect" and the other is "Unprotect". Which 
one you use depends on which format your stack is in -- if it is still 
in 1.x format, then you need Deprotect. If the stack was written in HC 
2.x (or converted to 2.x) then you need Unprotect. Most stacks are in 
2.x format these days.

I will send you a copy of Unprotect in email.
