Close the Registry Editor.
Open Adobe Digital Editions and reauthorize.
Macintosh:
quit Adobe Digital Editions.
Navigate to /Users//Library/Application Support/Adobe/Digital Editions and drag the activation.dat file to the trash.
If you are using 10.7, see https://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/access-hidden-user-library-files.html
Open Adobe Digital Editions and reauthorize.
If you download the eBooks before you authorize the eBooks can read only on this system. If you move it to a reader you need a new download after authoirze and then can linked with your right Adobe ID.

Has you remove the complete folder HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Adept ?

I removed the complete folder as you said
Error disappeared when I try to open the book but it asks me always for ID and password.
The book is always locked
I try to give authorisation but always the same pb.
The book is over protected so I can't read it. Protection is really efficient!!!
