You're out of luck. There is no way to retrieve the hidden script password.

Hi,

Before creating any hidden script make sure u save a copy of that and start working , If u have an hidden script password and by chance ur script got failed then also u cannot retrive this..

you can delete the hidden script file by creating a -prj folder and deleting the hidden script xml file, it will be in a binary.data file

this will only save layout, you will need to create a new script, but once it's removed you will have the option to create a new hidden script

In future, save all sheet codes in the script as main.qvs or calendar.qvs etc...

.qvs is a Qlikview Script File and as good practise you should save all code in these files

check out this video that will help you

@ Alan Farell : very interesting, i curenty into hidden script and section access, this is very handy...

although its very unfortunate that no one can retrived hidden script in case u forgot ur password.

hope to learn about QVS.....
