You have a couple of options.

1. Sent the file to Fptech and have them remove the password for a fee

2. Make a copy of the map, and edit out the password yourself.

There have been posts to the list on how to do this as I have not done this
in a long time and my mind is not clear on how to do remove the password
from the map header.

I am sure someone else can explain how to do this.
