With the growth of computers and the internet, there arises a need to protect the information stored in a system and transferred over a network. The simplest of protection techniques involve blocking access to information with the use of passwords. However, this might prove to be a problem if the password is lost or forgotten which happens in many cases.
Password recovery tools are available in the market to retrieve lost passwords. However, consideration is given to the size, complexity and effectiveness of the recovery tool. A small yet powerful password recovery tool would be the Easy Password Recovery 2.01. The beauty of this tool lies in the fact that it is able to retrieve passwords hidden within asterisks in Windows and Internet Explorer applications.
As in the case of software downloads, the Internet Explorer provides the facility for password storage which eases the use of the software. With time, if the password is forgotten, it becomes difficult to install the software again. Easy Password Recovery takes care of that by retrieving the password. A slight drawback of the tool is that it is able to display only the first two characters of the retrieved password.
Easy Password is able to successfully retrieve the passwords from the following entities:
Windows 9X, Windows 95, 98, ME, NT, 2000, XP, 2003 and Internet Explorer mainly IE 4.0, 5.0, 6.0 and higher.
