Reset Windows Password:
searching and recovering user passwords
Setting search and recovery methods
Finding user's passwords takes 5 steps:
- Finding information in Windows system cache. This method, in its turn, consists of over a dozen of mini-attacks, during which the program analyzes all kinds of system passwords, from secrets through DSL, FTP, IM, etc. passwords.
- Analyzing simple, short passwords, keyboard shortcuts, etc.
- Primitive dictionary attack. The application checks all passwords from the built-in dictionary for the Light and Standard editions or from several dictionaries (English.dic, German.dic, French.dic, Spanish.dic) for the Advanced Edition. If the deep search option is on, simple word mutations will also be taken into account during the search.
- Primitive brute-force attack.
- Artificial Intelligence attack. The attack analyzes network activity of a user on the computer. Over thirty mini-modules take care of that. Upon the results of the analysis, the application generates user preferences and generates a semantic dictionary for the attack, which it later uses it for finding the password.
Selecting data source
When searching for passwords, special attention is to be paid to entering files and folders required for the analysis process. Without those, password search will be inefficient. The application finds the files automatically, but sometimes, e.g., when the computer has several operating systems installed, you may need to use the 'manual control'. Please also keep in mind that if the computer has 2 or more hard disk drives, the sequence of the letters for these disks can be set totally different than in the original system.
Searching and decrypting passwords
Finding/analyzing passwords can take some time, which depends on attack settings and peculiarities of your system. Completing the search normally takes not more than 10 minutes.
