Password not valid or other error

[vinnygambiny]

Hi, I have the encrypted error. I have set the password, but not sure that is the good password. Not all file are encrypted.

java -jar tps-to-csv.jar -s ./240529data -t ./240529data_csv -e -password "_&$#"

Encrypted file, using set password.
Exception in thread "main" nl.cad.tpsparse.tps.NotATopSpeedFileException: File doesn't start with 0x00000000 - its not a TopSpeed file or it may be 'encrypted'.

I can confirm, it's the good password. I have try with -password "_&$#" and -password _\&$# and it's don't work. I can't change the password... They have a way to use this password ?

For a TPS file to be valid in this software the first 4 bytes need to be zero (it is the absolute position in the file; the start, so 0). If the value is different, it can mean the following:

• the file is encrypted, you provided no password
• the file is encrypted, you provided a password, but it didn't decrypt the start to 0s, so the password is incorrect.
• the file is not a TPS file.

Some suggestions:

• How do you know the password is correct?
• It looks like you're converting a folder; did you try the files one by one?

[vinnygambiny]

Yes I have run on folder, then on one file. The password work for the software that use the DB.

Sometimes the password of the software is not the same as that for the DB unfortunately.

cfg.tps.zip Here an exemple of a file I can't convert, if you can help me is appreciate.

I ran some checks on the file. Normally block #15 of the key is recoverable, but for your file it isn't. I don't think it is encrypted using the tps encryption algorithm but something else.

Later versions of the clarion tps driver support enhanced encryption - my guess is this is used.
If that is the case your best bet is to contact the developer of your software for support.
