(About the author)
 
     This project is a database opener which basically opens any MSAccess database w/o knowing the password. The main purpose of the program is to open a passworded database, and retrieve the password. This is helpful for databases with forgoten passwords. The program requires a "Character Set"- this is where the program retrieves several combinations for unlocking the password. if you suspect the database to include numbers and special characters simply include them in the Character Set. the program runs perfectly on high-end machines, but using it on lower-end machines do take awhile. please feel free to comment & vote! :) special thanks to §e7eN for the bruteforce class! =)

Waste of time. If the database is properly secured with separate system.mdw, admin user removed, this code will fail.

Well, yeah...ofcourse there are better ways of securing your database than just a simple password, all the code does is just get the password for you, assuming that there are no other form of security used. Any system will always have certain limitations. Still, the code works fine and some may find it usefull. Tnx! :)

Hi,
Nice code. But I am wondering, what encryption method does MS-Access 2000 use? (I will try your code on it to see if it cracks it or not!)

thanks,

Fadi .K

Why do you call it a password retriever/unlocker when its just a cracker? It doesnt "retrieve" anything.

Nice Idea
I Like it
But what if the password is too long
20 characters par example
It will take months to find the password
