As long as the file hasn't changed from the original system to the new
system (and tar shouldn't change anything in a file), there is nothing
in the above description that would cause a creation password to appear
on a filePro file.

Can you give the exact steps you used, and exactly when/where you get
the "enter creation password" prompt?  ("I get this prompt all the
time" isn't very accurate.  For example, I doubt that you get such a
prompt at the main filePro menu.)
