On the new year note , I happend to forget my truecrypt password. I
got some queries in this regards

1. BIOS 's pre-boot authentication works on full disk encryption but
what abt file  encryption (over OS), any pointers ?
2. How does password mechanism work on a encrypted file.
3. Any good disctionary attack tools.


The whole idea is that without the password, you can't access the data. It
seems you're hoping that there's a trivial way to gain access to your
volume.  If it were that simple, why would you use the product?  Me thinks
you're poked.  Kiss your data goodbye.
