## Description

Instantly Recover Windows Passwords

If the user can log in to Windows, Proactive System Password Recovery
recovers many types of passwords instantly and without lengthy attacks, as well
as displays hidden system information such as Product ID and CD Key.

Advanced Attacks

Certain types of passwords that cannot be recovered instantly are attacked
with advanced, highly customizable combinations of dictionary and brute-force
attacks.

Many computer users protect different accounts with exactly the same
passwords, or with slight variations of a single password. Proactive System
Password Recovery automatically adds each password it discovers into a
dictionary, quickly unlocking accounts protected with any of the previously
recovered passwords and their variations. As many types of passwords are
discovered instantly, the chances of unlocking other types of accounts in just
minutes are very high.

Advanced Social Engineering

There are passwords that can be recovered instantly, and there are secure
passwords that require lengthy attacks to be recovered. However, many computer
users use the same or similar passwords to protect various system resources, and
even use the same passwords to protect their system accounts.

Proactive System Password Recovery employs an advanced social engineering
technology to retrieve all instantly recoverable passwords and try these
passwords when unlocking secure ones. Moreover, Proactive System Password
Recovery adds all recovered passwords into the dictionary and performs a
dictionary attack that is orders of magnitude faster than the brute force
recovery.

Types of Passwords

Proactive System Password Recovery can retrieve various passwords assuming
that the user has logged in to the system.

Fast Recovery

Not all types of passwords can be recovered instantly. Windows securely
encrypts several types of passwords, making it necessary to apply advanced
attacks in order to recover them.

Many users have passwords that contain words from their native language,
numbers and dates from their life, combined with random numbers and characters.
ElcomSoft implements several advanced technologies that allow faster recovery. A
highly customizable dictionary attack allows specifying various modifiers to the
dictionary words. Advanced masks make it possible to specify pieces of
information that are known or can be guessed about a password in order to speed
up the recovery. The following passwords are quickly recovered with advanced
attacks.

- Windows NT/2000/XP/2003/Vista/2008/WIndows 7 user passwords

- SYSKEY startup passwords

- Passwords stored in Domain Cached Credentials

- WPA-PSK passwords
