w/o password you screwed. It's unbreakable in reasonable period of time
Why don't you ask client for password?

Agreed. There is no such thing as unbreakable. Only that it will take so long, that it will be pointless. There are some encryption schemes that have been cracked (meaning flawed mathematically-speaking), however, modern PGP is not one of those.

You're only hope (since there is no PUBLICLY known method) is to search for keyring. In investigative work, this is usually done by forensic analysis and/or use of trojans and/or keyloggers. With the pwd it is hopeless. PGP and similar encryption schemes employ 128-bit min. mechanisms, and government agencies around the world have, themselves, been unable to prosecute suspects whom encrypted their data using PGP.

The good thing about it you don't need to break 128-bit key
You just need to break password which usually consists of letters and digits and not longer than 6-8 chars
PGP hashes user-entered-password into 128-bit key. Hash algorithm is not a secret

Usually I will send the original image back to client if they do not want to tell the password.
i got no idea without the password

They can decrypt by themself :)

Really sure? Pgp is documented. Oh, by the way, quad core pcs are cheaper today, so... (it is a clue)

I think this is pointsec rather than PGP the _BGKEY_ signature indicates this.

You will need to get a boot floppy from the customer with the key. When you run this you will be asked for a login and password and then a final confirmation. then the drive will decrpyt..

pointsec T Support are usually very good and will explain how it is done. But you will need the boot floppy from the customer. Pointsec uses AES (probably 256).
