User interface

The multi-tabbed layout comes to help you easily switch between different recovery modes and configure several settings.
The tool also displays a log with information about recovery attacks (date, time and event) and lets you add files in the working environment using the browse button (there’s no support for drag-and-drop).

Work with different attack modes for recovering passwords

The application gives you the possibility to use the “Brute-force” mode where you can specify the minimal and maximal length of your password and select the type of symbols that are included in the password (e.g. special symbols, digits).
If you know a part of your password you can use the “Brute-force with mask” attack to save some of your time and quickly get the password. The retrieved password is revealed in the main window and you can also check out the speed.
In case the aforementioned methods fail in recovering the lost password of your file, you can opt for the “Dictionary” attack. You are required to select a dictionary file, enter a starting line number, make use of smart mutations and try all possible upper/lowercase combinations.

Other handy features to play with

The program lets you check out statistics about the recovered passwords, speed (current, average) and time (elapsed, remaining), change or delete the Internet Explorer Content Advisor Password, and automatically save each recovery project at a user-defined time (in minutes).
Additionally, you can set priorities, show message if passwords could not be recovered instantly, specify the location where the logs are saved, carry out benchmarks to test the speed of your computer, as well as view general info about your system, such as operating system and CPU vendor information and version.

Bottom line
