ABSTRACT:
The computer security apparatus is appended to existing computer data file protection apparatus and operates as an adjunct thereto. The user invokes the password and/or data file encryption processes in the usual manner. If the user cannot remember the password used, the computer security apparatus presents a prerecorded password hint to the user in an attempt to jog the user's memory to recall the password. If the initial password hint does not accomplish this goal, a succession of additional, more specific password hints, can be provided to ultimately induce the user to recall the password.
