why is it that everytime i try to extract a file it says enter password for the enctrypted file??

Question

do i have to know anything??

Answer 1

That means the computer doesn't recogize you as an authorized personell to take the files. Talk to your IT person or if it's a personal computer, go into administrative options an change how the computer releases files. Change that setting from protected to unprotected.

Answer 2

the file was encypted, so for it to be decryted for you to read it it needs to have the corret password typed in.
