Contacted an old friend who works in iT, cyber security now, told him I have 5 hardrives with so much music my own and commercial stuff.
Told him I am trying to get now and wav files off disks, trying to hook it up to current system but it's password protected, he says I'm sol.

I call geek squad and the kid reads from most commonly asked questions, can you recover password protected files.

Answer, yes if you can provide the password. So answer us no cause who would have that?

I used to get a new PC every two years caused it get so slow and the blue screen of death.

So I was excited of possibly if using stuff I tracked and sang, throwing them into suno fir a cover, but no dice.

Very sad
