how did you password protect it?

If you are using the correct password it should open, computers NEVER forget. If you are using security passwords in ms office you can download programs to crack these just google for them.

The floppy disks could be corrupt - floppy disks are a pretty outdated format, and are unreliable when left for long periods of time.

You should get a cheap USB pen drive, you can password protect those as well.

Yes the password has to be associated with some sort of utility program. What was it ?
