    Yea. Just put it on a terrorist website and claim that it contains sensitive material. CIA will have it cracked in no time.

    Just so we're both clear the file you need decrypted is on your computer currently at your house and you are not there. If that is the case it's not impossible you just need the right person, nothing is ever impossible.

    It also depends upon how it was encrypted. If you don't have the key/EFS certificate, good luck decrypting the file. If it was as simple as downloading a tool and clicking a button (and in some cases it is), then it wouldn't be called 'encryption'.

    If you need any more help, please provide additional context and information regarding the file in question.
