The program uses state of the art technology (AI attack) to guess Windows passwords. Passcape's Artificial Intelligence attack proved itself as the most effective attack on certain local passwords. The main idea is that the program reads your disk, creates a dictionary of all found words, mutates them and tries to guess your original password. It is based mainly upon a social engineering and had never been implemented in password recovery programs earlier.
Nevertheless it is not always possible to guess passwords on certain machines. Try to play around with recovery options, eg. set Artificial Intelligence attack to perform 'Deep search'.
I would like to introduce Windows Password Key 8.0 . it not only supports XP, 2000, and NT, I have personally tested it with Vista Home Premium and Ultimate. It creates a password recovery CD/DVD,USB Flash Drive for home, business and enterprise. It works perfectly to reset your Windows password. You can download it from httр://www.lostwindowspassword.com
I've been using the utility and found out that the features they proclaim... How shall I put it... It's a lie from the beginning to the end.
The program does not recover all accounts. It does not support all types of SYSKEY encryption. It does not show non-english accounts. It does not support Win2k, Windows 2003, Windows 2008 servers. It didn't work for my SCSI controller and I found no way to add a driver. Conclusion: NOT WORTH THE MONEY.
My favorite is Reset Windows Password 1.3 that I get it from httр://www.top-password.com/reset-windows-password.html, it is much cheaper than Passcape Reset Windows Password.
