Note it must be run on that computer cause part of the encryption uses the MAC address of the computer --- End quote --- So technically, he could spoof the mac address of his new PC to match his old PC and use the reverse key.dat tool on his new PC to get the key? (not that most people usually write down their mac address for safe keeping) but, theoretically, it should work....? (never actually used it so idk) |

you could just move your HDD over |

you could go to your routers registered devices which keeps a record of your PC's that have been connected to your router and most of the time it will show you their MAC address |
