Access Password Recovery Tool

Access Password Recovery Tool is a straightforward piece of software designed to recover lost or forgotten passwords to Microsoft Access databases. It performs this task instantly and gives you the possibility to store the key to the clipboard.

It supports MDB database files created and encrypted with Microsoft Access versions since 97, including 2016, 2013, 2010, 2007 and 2000. There are no configuration settings available because it doesn't work as a typical password cracker. Instead of spending a lot of time attempting to decode the password using a dictionary or brute force to try all possible characters, it reads the database keys instantly.

Following a fast setup that doesn't imply any software dependencies, you're welcomed by a plain and simple interface, where you can use the integrated file browser to navigate disk directories and select a MDB-formatted file.

If it's not encrypted, Access Password Recovery Tool writes this message in the main window. Otherwise, it shows the password so you don't have to click any buttons to trigger this operation. Also, it displays a popup message to let you know that it can be copied to the clipboard.

The Microsoft Access version used to create the database is indicated too. Worth mentioning is that if a database was initially built with a certain Access version and then encrypted with a different one, the application reveals the Access version used at build. In the following step, you can either copy the password or open another file to decrypt it.

There's also a button integrated to open the database in Microsoft Access if it's installed on your computer. However, the password recovery app can successfully reveal database passwords even if this Office product isn't installed on your PC. Another notable aspect is that the application isn't designed to decrypt database (save unprotected files).
