As you says that you had downloaded that software i think the software is trial version
so after some time of using that software (see help file of that software ) all locked files will be open.

If
other tricks are not worked, copy the locked folder(if locked folder is in the 'c' drive and 'c' drive contain your Operating system) to the another drive, And format c drive. your folder will be open in newly installed os.

If it is the application created by "assassisn001"...then

Browse your folder..useing Firefox. It will show the contents...copy, then (save as) to another location. Delete the locked folder.

None of this works, I was just checking out the trial and its hell secure - the folder literally disappears from the drive, I think they use ADS with encryption - its practiacally impossible to even see the folder. You password is your best bet mate.

Nothing will work - and a format means all data is lost. No way to copy the damn thing either - if you brought a full version, the register key also works as a master password - you can try that.
