With the new cyber hack, I thought it be best to change all my passwords. I have not had keypass installed on this pc before but I have used keypass in the past. I installed keepass on my new windows 8 pc. I changed all my passwords and while I was creating all the files I noticed my old ones in the back up file. I sorted them and updated them all. I locked the account, not knowing I should just log off. I cannot get back in with the password I created today for keepass.
1. How did it know it was me?
2. How do I open the account. I searched windows and see many files created today but I also see some from 48/15/2008 and 11/10/2013 when I thought I deleted everything when my cell phone was stolen. Any suggestions?

I see the pwsafe.key on my d drive but the master password I thought created today does not work I get an error message if i use a master password with or without the key file.

Have you tried the old KeePass password?
Are you sure you have ticked / un-ticked the required boxes in the Master Password dialogue, including Windows User Account?
Have you tried the old password on a backup database?
cheers, Paul
