password stopped working after I upgraded from V1.2 to V2

ihot

Hi,
My password stopped working after I upgraded from V1.2 to V2.
I just (June 7th 2013) downloaded the latest version of Boxcryptor V2 and it requested that it be allowed to uninstall my older version V1.2.

It then asked me for login ID and password and said that it was not valid.
I am using Boxcryptor to encrypt DropBox.
What do i do now?
In Windows 7, I see a folder called C:\Users\dho\AppData\Local\Boxcryptor but it only has these files:
rootfolder.db
volume.db

Hi,
I am able to find .encfs6.xml in my Dropbox folder.
I viewed it but was not able to understand it. forum user Keymaster said to look for :
PW_RAND
but I don't see it.
I'm a financial software developer and am somewhat knowledgeable about Windows 7.
Thanks for your help.

Same problem here .... :-(

Seems they changed the account logics, login and pw are new (they are NOT the ones previously used to open the BC folder).
I tried to create an offline account but after trying to log in, i received an error message (something like InString may not be NULL ...).
I deinstalled 2.0 and re-installed 1.5 and I am happy again :-)

Hello,

Boxcryptor v1.x and v2 are not compatible to each other. Files encrypted with v1.x (which we renamed to "Classic") cannot be decrypted with v2 and vice versa. However, v2 has an importer to convert v1.x files to v2.

As ez2517 pointed out, accounts are new in Boxcryptor v2. If you'd like to upgrade to v2, you should create a new account (either offline or online) and import your "old" v1.x Boxcryptor Folder.

If you are happy with v1.x and do not want to upgrade to v2, you can download Boxcryptor Classic (v1.6) which we will continue to support in the future.
