Programs to open PSW6 file
Remember to download programs supporting PSW6 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Password Depot with PSW6 files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the PSW6 file still does not use the Password Depot program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the PSW6 file with the Password Depot application.
Step 3. Update Password Depot to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Password Depot program with the Password Depot 6 Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the AceBIT GmbH website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PSW6 file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to PSW6 files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the PSW6 file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected PSW6 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of PSW6 file may not always be supported by the latest software version. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair PSW6 file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use AceBIT help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted PSW6 files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move PSW6 to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
