Proactive System Password Recovery description
Recover windows passwords: RAS/dial-up, Passport, shared resources, asterists etc.

Proactive System Password Recovery (PSPR) is an useful tool if you want to recover all types of Windows passwords: logon password (when user is logged on and has Admin privileges), screensaver password, .NET Passport password, RAS and dial-up passwords, passwords to shared resources, SYSKEY startup password, passwords stored in cached credentials etc.

The program also shows all users and groups (with their properties), allows to run any programs in other user's context, show password history hashes, read password hashes from SAM and SYSTEM files, read Protected Storage records, decrypt Windows scripts, reveal passwords hidden under the asterisks, enable disabled controls, and run brute-force and dictionary attacks on PWL files (Windows 9x).

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.

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.
