Sorry, but you won't get any help here for decrypting messages. Maybe your intention isn't non-ethical, maybe it is, we don't know.

What school?
Even if brute force would be applied, you'd be testing each password for each available algorithm.

You need to discuss this with your teacher. You cannot easily decrypt anything without the algorithm or the key. I suspect there is some other piece of information that you need.

If this indeed a school assignment, it is presumably encrypted using one of the algorithms that you learnt about in the class, using a key that you should be able to guess.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

You have to know more than that. If you don't, it could be encrypted with a OTP, and then it could be literally anything (in the sense that whatever you want it to be, there's a key that makes it so).

More or less, the assignment goes like this (it is not in english, so i have to translate it).
You have an important e-mail and your job is to decrypt it before anyone else does.

Hi,
I would need your help ASAP!
My hard drive broke and I lost my long used encryption program. Even tough I have tried to find this program everywhere I can not find it. Name of the program included sec...or...crypt... something. The encrypted message underneath has an important web address in it. I need it, please help me!
I am almost sure, that the encryption key was a PIN code. But I can not remember what it was.

At least that limits the key space. Well, have fun brute forcing it.
Could be cryptainer, cryptarchives, cryptoloop, secubox, SecureDoc.. or something else, who knows. It's not plain crypt though.

..still 10.000 different combinations 
You still did not tell us which school 
--edit
There's some additional hints here[^]. Enjoy

I assume Daniel Pfeffer hit the spot with his reply to you. So try whichever encryption algorithm(s) you've learned about. And if the key was a PIN code there aren't too many possible values..

Oh goody, if you read the description you can reduce it to a known plaintext attack.
That's as much of a hint as I'm giving

By design, encryption algorithms are made to be difficult to decrypt without the key.
If you don't know the algorithm it is another difficulty, and in this case difficulties combine.
Knowing the contain of the message only help to know that the message is decrypted.
You need to know which algorithm in order to exploit your knowledge of the contain of the message.

Hey guyz, I have confuse to using the JTree in swing packages.
When I write the code it ca show the errors.
plz give me the solution of this problem.....

What problem? Please show proper details, we cannot guess what you are doing.

The solution is to fix the errors. If you want something more detailed, so do we. 
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

There are four friends on an amazing maze( <a href="http://postimg.org/image/ci1kbz1xp">View image: blind maze</a> ), including some walls/deadlocks. These walls, however, are not recognized until getting them. Design an efficient algorithm which these people can approach each others in one place.

Your homework should serve the purpose that you learn something. And that something isn't supposed to be how to get other people to doing your homework for you.
Your assignments will get more difficult over time - so if you don't start doing them yourself now you'll never be able to.
So sit down, think about it and try something. If you then encounter a specific problem, feel free to ask - that's the idea of these forums.

Sascha: I thought about that. But could not find an efficient way: A general solution is one person is fix and the persons moving toward him/her. But I don't like this idea

There are other things you could declare as fixed

BTW, in order to design an efficient algorithm it's neccessary to know if the information of their current coordinates and/or the size of the maze is known to the person/algorithm. If this isn't stated in your assignment you should either ask your teacher or define this yourself and then document it in your solution description.

Start by finding something that work, no matter if efficient or not.
When you have a working solution, think about how to improve it.

I'm new here and not sure where to post thisI need a code so that someone could copy a link from a website and paste and save into a pop up box from a software program for later viewing. The link will be embedded into an image and they just click on it to get them to the site. Any ideas?
