Problem opening old files - Error 5098

Hi, I am working for a company that has been doing photogrammetry for years and has a bunch of old Reality Capture files created under the PPI system and they were not converted back in April 2024 when 1.4 came out.

I do not have access to the employee’s username/account so I cannot open the file and then “save & unlock” as instructed. And there are no online tutorials on how to use the CLI command -unlockPPIProject as instructed from this page.

Is there another workaround I have not found?
